Some more problems for the HPD as the switch to the new $31 million dollar records system has been delayed, likely for at least six months.
"Yes, it will be delayed but I want to let your listeners know, this is a massive infrastructure undertaking for the police department" said retired HPD Captain, Dr. Greg Fremin.
But, it's something that Mayor Whitmire was reportedly warned about last August.
"The mayor obviously, is going to get input from other people, which he did" Fremin told KTRH, "But ultimately he makes the decision which he thinks is in the best interest of the city, and the police department."
Hopefully, this won't lead to another suspended cases scandal.
"I don't foresee any negative ramifications, or case backlogs as a result of this" noted Fremin.
The deal with the computer system company has been extended until November, for an additional cost of $1.7 million.
