Brieden also created a YouTube channel and social media profiles dedicated to showing the public these videos. “Now we have a database where the public can go.”īrieden works to post at least two robbery videos a day, hoping to generate leads. Map multiple locations, get transit/walking/driving directions, view live traffic conditions, plan trips, view satellite, aerial and street side imagery. “We had this influx of videos that just hadn’t been seen by the public,” said Brieden. The idea came from HPD senior police officer Jeff Brieden.
“Sometimes you have the actual suspect themselves calling up here and saying, ‘I just saw myself on the robbery channel.’” “We’ve had an increase of over 200-percent of tips being relayed to us,” said Guinn-Shaver. Houston police started seeing robbery numbers decrease in the city shortly after the creation of a website in 2016 dedicated to sharing surveillance videos with the public.
