POLICE Department

Family Violence Unit - Community Agencies

The Houston Police Department cares about you and your safety.  If you are in immediate danger call 9-1-1.  If you are in a non-emergency situation dial (713) 884-3131.  As a community we strive to prevent violence and its consequences to all people, families and communities-so that they are all safe, healthy and free from violence.  Everyone deserves relationships free from domestic violence. 

Exploring online resources-including hotlines, organizations, and shelters-may also be a helpful way to navigate your situation, especially if you choose to leave your relationship.  These resources include hotlines with confidential chat, phone and/or text support; organizations, and shelters.
