About Us
Residents For Responders (RFR) is a Texas 501(c)(3) nonprofit created by residents of Spring Valley Village and Hilshire Village to support the officers of the Spring Valley Village Police Department.
RFR serves as an independent resource to the department, offering financial and moral support through anniversary gifts, and a fund for officers facing family emergencies.
RFR does not replace or reduce Spring Valley Village's responsibility to fund public safety. Our role is to build morale, goodwill, and community support for the officers and staff who protect us.
A Bit of History
Just before the pandemic, my wife and I nearly moved to Kingwood, where my office was located. We had offers on our Spring Valley home and had found the house we wanted. But driving through Kingwood, seeing an HPD vehicle, we realized that if we ever needed help, the wait could be 15–30 minutes or more. Here at home, it's rarely more than 3–4 minutes. That kind of peace of mind is easy to take for granted — until you almost lose it. In the end, Spring Valley is where we raised our kids and where we wanted to stay, so we did.
Around that same time, we watched officers around the country face growing disrespect and hostility. We knew that wasn't how most of America felt — and it certainly wasn't how our community felt. So we started RFR: a way for our neighbors to show the appreciation and respect that SVVPD's officers have earned.
