During the public comment segment, two non-agenda speakers, Jose Lopez and Nikia Sims, were given one minute each to address the court.

His appeal for more direct engagement with law enforcement personnel reflects a broader concern for transparency and support within the community.

The meeting concluded with a call for further collaboration and understanding among all parties involved, emphasizing the need for continued dialogue to address the needs of law enforcement in Harris County.
