Full Notification

The Dallas Police Department will begin its summer crime initiative tonight which will continue the next three months. The emphasis will focus on 3 things-Violent Crime, Property Crime, and Public Disorder. Emphasis will be placed on beat policing, “hot spots” based on timely intelligence information, working closer with community crime watch groups, and other aspects of fighting crime.



Several specialized units will be utilized to combat violet crimes including the Gang Unit, Operation Disruption, SWAT, and Narcotics. Patrol and Neighborhood Policing Officers will place their focus on property crimes and public disorder issues, respectively. Our goal is to continue to reduce crime in Dallas by taking a proactive, well planned approach throughout the summer months.



The media is invited to attend the first “detail” today at 5:00 p.m. in the Media Conference Room and ride out with officers afterward if so desired.
