The Harris County Sheriff's Office today is grieving the tragic death of Precinct 3 Assistant Chief Deputy Clinton Greenwood. Assistant Chief Greenwood faithfully served the Harris County community for more than 30 years in law enforcement, criminal prosecution and defense.

The men and women of Harris County law enforcement will not rest until the perpetrator is brought to justice.

“Thousands of men and women faithfully wear the badge of a Texas peace officer day in and day out in Houston and Harris County,” stated Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez. “They answer a high call to service for their fellow man. That was the call that Assistant Chief Clint Greenwood answered over decades of service. His bravery and sacrifice will not be forgotten and will not go unanswered.”

Assistant Chief Greenwood began his career with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office in May of 1988. Greenwood spent nearly twenty years as a commissioned peace officer with the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office, over 4 years with the Harris County DA’s Office, and over 3 years as a member of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Command Staff. In January, Constable Sherman Eagleton selected Greenwood to serve as Assistant Chief in the Harris County Precinct 3 Constable’s Office.
