Pasadena is a thriving community located just outside of Houston, with a population of around 200,000 people.

He spent over 30 years as a police officer for the Houston Police Department.
“Digital transformation can have a profound impact on how we live our daily lives, so it’s imperative that city officials consider implementing strategies to not only tech-enabled the community experience but also to leverage mobile technology to keep residents and visitors safe and informed,” said Randall Crowder, COO of Phunware.
