Crime Stoppers' chief Ogg stepping down after 6 years
Crime Stoppers of Houston's executive director announced Tuesday that she
is stepping down after more than 6 years.
Kim Ogg, a former Harris County prosecutor and the 1st director of the
Mayor's Anti-Gang Task Force, said she will leave Crime Stoppers on June 9
to practice law again.
"My professional goal has always been to help people obtain justice," Ogg
said. "Unfortunately, ordinary people face many barriers associated with
access to the justice system. They need good advocates willing to fight
for their rights."
Ogg will become a senior attorney at the law firm of McFall, Sherwood &
Breitbeil, where she will focus on white-collar criminal defense, business
litigation and forensic investigations.
She left as Harris County's chief felony prosecutor in 1994 to become
Houston's 1st anti-gang director. She left that position in 1999 for Crime
Stoppers. As a prosecutor for 7 years, Ogg won a death penalty sentence in
a capital murder case.
