Troy Finner hired as Missouri City Police Chief nearly 2 years after HPD scandal, retirement<\/a><\/p>\nA public Meet and Greet will begin at 5:00 p.m. at the MCTX Community Center, offering residents an opportunity to introduce themselves and engage with the new chief.<\/p>\n
City officials noted that space for the event is limited and encouraged attendees to arrive accordingly.<\/p>\n
The announcement follows a statement released by the City on March 14, confirming Finner\u2019s appointment. <\/p>\n
Finner was appointed by then-Mayor Sylvester Turner as Houston Police Chief in 2021, before retiring in 2024. <\/p>\n
His departure from HPD was viewed as abrupt, as it followed a period of scrutiny involving internal department practices related to suspended case classifications, including sexual assault investigations. <\/p>\n
\u201cChief Finner brings the leadership experience, judgment, and professionalism needed to lead the Missouri City Police Department and serve this community effectively,\u201d City Manager Angel Jones said in the city\u2019s earlier announcement.<\/p>\n
Missouri City officials said they conducted a review of Finner\u2019s qualifications and leadership background as part of their hiring process. <\/p>\n
The Meet and Greet event marks Finner\u2019s first public appearance in his new position.<\/p>\n
