Supporting the
Spring Valley Village
Police Department!

You are Invited to Join.

 

Residents For Responders (RFR) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2022 by residents of Spring Valley Village (SVV) and Hilshire Village (HV). Our mission is to bring the community together in support of the officers of the Spring Valley Village Police Department (SVVPD).

 

While crime has surged across the country—especially in Harris County—our two villages remain among the safest communities in Texas. That’s no accident. It's a direct result of the dedication, professionalism, and vigilance of our SVVPD officers.

 

At RFR, we aim to recognize, honor, and humanize the men and women of our police department. We also provide direct financial support in times of personal need, with contributions coming from the very residents they serve and protect.

 

Whether it's repairing hurricane damage, assisting with medical bills, or helping a family through a health crisis, we stand behind our officers—just as they stand behind us every day.

Peace of Mind - Thanks to SVVPD 

You may never need to call the Spring Valley Village Police Department (SVVPD)—but if you do, they’ll likely be at your door in under three minutes.

 

What you might not know is this: criminals avoid Spring Valley Village and Hilshire Village. In a significant number of felony arrests made by the SVVPD—often initiated from routine traffic stops—offenders later admitted they didn’t realize they were in SVV or HV. If they had, they would’ve gone around. That speaks volumes about the department’s reputation and deterrent presence.

The Results Speak for Themselves

2025 continued to be a remarkable year for public safety, with crime rates remaining impressively low. In fact, Spring Valley Village and Hilshire Village are the safest communities in all of Harris County.

 

Take a look at the chart below comparing 2025 crime statistics from the five surrounding Houston Police Department (HPD) beats.

 

It’s clear:
We live in a bubble of safety, where children can ride bikes, play outside, and explore their neighborhoods with freedom.

 

And that’s no accident—it’s because of the SVVPD.

Forrest McClain

RFR Recognizes Officer Forrest McClain Officer of the Quarter

 

Residents For Responders is proud to recognize Officer Forrest McClain as our Officer of the Quarter.

Officer McClain has devoted eleven years to law enforcement: two with the Crockett Police Department and the past nine with the Spring Valley Village Police Department. As a patrol officer in Spring Valley Village & Hilshire Village, he has provided steady leadership, mentored fellow officers, and helped keep our community safe and secure. He is also the department's only swift-water rescue officer, a role that reflects his passion for rescue swimming.

A Houston-area resident for 32 years, Officer McClain has chosen to dedicate his career to the community he calls home. He is the first member of his family to become a police officer. He is also a twin, and his brother is older by exactly one minute. Off duty, he enjoys hunting and fishing with family and friends.

In Officer McClain's own words: "Being a police officer for the city of Spring Valley Village is a blessing. The residents are thankful for the job we do in this city."

Please join us in thanking Officer McClain for his service to Spring Valley Village.
