亞裔出任警務要職

休斯敦市長惠特曼昨天宣布由休市警察局副局長田邊出任市公共交通局警察局長，將掌控三三百多位警言負責有關治安工作。這也是有史以來首次由亞裔出任治安首長。

市長在今天舉行正式之記者會 ，正式向各界人士介紹新任之局長和新聞界及各界人士見面，他盛讚田邊在過去數十年來在警界之豐富經驗。

這也是市長上任以來再次任命亞裔人士出任市府要職，更顯示他對亞裔人士之重視。

這位市長上任以來,高度重視各族裔之團結和諧,他認為我們多元社區需要團結起來為市府作出貢獻。

我們在此對田邊局長表示忠心之祝賀,並將在近期內再次在國際貿易中心舉辦午餐會慶賀他出任交通局警察局長。

Asian Takes Up Important Position With Police Dept.

Houston Mayor Whitmire announced yesterday the appointment of Houston Deputy Police Chief Ben Tien as Police Chief of Houston Metro. He will oversee more than 300 police officers and will be responsible for public safety. This is also the first time in Houston's history that an Asian American has been named to serve as the head of a department in the HPD.

Mayor Whitmire will hold a news conference today 

to formally introduce the new chief to the press and community leaders. 

The mayor highly praised Tien who has had an outstanding career in public safety as Deputy Chief of the Houston Police Department.

Since Mayor Whitmire took office earlier this year, he has appointed many important positions to Asian Americans and he believes this is the best representation of our city.

We would like to express our deepest congratulations to our new chief and we will hold a luncheon party in the near future to celebrate his new position.
