Adrian Garcia Biography

Adrian Garcia is one of the most popular and richest Police Officer who was born on December 26, 1960 in Houston, Houston, United States. Adrian Garcia (born December 26, 1960) is the former Sheriff of Harris County, Texas. Garcia spent 23 years with the Houston Police Department, before becoming a city councilman. Garcia served six years as a Houston City Councilman, eventually becoming Mayor Pro-Tempore under former Mayor Bill White. In 2008 he became Sheriff of Harris County. In 2015 Garcia stepped down from post as Sheriff to run for Mayor of the City of Houston.

After his election he became the first Latino Sheriff of Harris County with about sixty percent of the vote. In 2009, upon becoming Sheriff of Harris County, the third largest sheriff’s county in the United States, one of Garcia’s main focuses was ending the housing of inmates outside of Harris County, specifically out of state. After returning all out of county and out of state inmates to Harris County, Garcia then reprogrammed the recouped revenues to pay for additional guards and expand the use of technology in the county, including apps to connect citizens to the police.

Prior to the campaign Garcia stated he supported the establishment of county- wide pre-K education as a method of future crime-prevention in addition to citing his bringing the Sheriff’s department out of a $60 million deficit that existed before his term. He announced his intentions to run for Mayor, following a few months of public speculation on when he would join the race, on May 6, 2015, to replace the prior Mayor who was unable to run due to term limits. In his announcement speech, he claimed to have saved the Sheriff’s department $200 million over his tenure. Following his announcement, a search for his replacement began, with Garcia retaining his position as Sheriff until his replacement could be found and appointed. During a September 2015 debate, Garcia faced questioning by his mayoral opponents regarding the role he played in one of the inmate abuse cases.

In 2014 Garcia launched a criminal investigation into the conditions at Harris County Jail, and invited the Department of Justice to aide in the investigation, after another inmate was alleged to have been locked in a filth-ridden solitary confinement cell. As late as April 24, 2015, Garcia claimed he knew “nothing” about Goodwin’s condition until after the media got involved after he attacked a prison official. Garcia has stated that he knew nothing about these conditions until after the media got involved. However, one of Garcia’s former chief deputies, later claimed that he had previously told Garcia of the abuse to no effect. Local Houston activist Quanell X along with the inmate’s mother called for Garcia’s resignation.

Over his career, he was involved in issues involving the protection of disability rights. He also testified before the U.S. House of Representatives on subjects including affordable housing and border enforcement. In 2008 Garcia ran for Sheriff, during which he again suffered from negative campaign ads, this time about possible marijuana use during his childhood. Garcia stated in response that he had already admitted to this on his Houston Police Department application, and the ad ended up boosting Garcia’s campaign coffers.
