Dallas police and criminologists say the city’s violent-crime plan is working and point to the nearly 12 percent drop in “street-level” violence since its...
Local officials discuss updated violent-crime stats during a public-safety committee meeting at Dallas City Hall on Monday.
Hot-spot policing had a “pretty significant impact,” with a 10.7% drop in violence in the grids since May 2021 due to police efforts, Tillyer said. He said violence in the grids accounted for about 5% of overall violence citywide before treatment; after treatment, they accounted for between 2 to 3% of the city’s crime. And while arrests increased 6.4% citywide, he said there was only a 2.6% uptick in arrests in the hot-spot grids.
For place-network investigations, police zeroed in on two pilot locations: 3550 East Overton, which is the Volara Apartments in east Oak Cliff, and 11700 Ferguson Road in Far East Dallas, which includes several apartment complexes and a strip shopping center. Since February, police and city departments such as code enforcement tried to address crime and conditions that give rise to it with detailed operations plan for each one, Smith said.Police have seen different results.
“There was a big learning curve here,” Smith said. “We labeled these as pilot locations I think for a reason, and we learned there’s a lot of lessons I think that DPD took out of this initial effort at these two locations.”
