The need for more power, more electricity, more light was brought home in a sometimes somber press conference Thursday as Mayor John Whitmire and Acting Police Chief Larry Satterwhite talked about the tragic death the night before of Harris County Deputy Fernando Esqueda.
Whitmire asked for a moment of prayer for Esqueda before explaining the next steps the city is taking to better protect residents, more than a million of whom remained without power Thursday. . The city is bringing in 100 officers from other jurisdictions — along with their own police vehicles so don't be surprised when you see a Dallas PDncruiser — to help patrol the parts of the city where lighting is most absent. Asked to pinpoint where that was, Satterwhite said it was all over.
Satterwhite said overall they weren't seeing a spike in crime but the number of traffic crashes has jumped enormously.
