In 1st year of Dallas crime plan, ‘street-level’ violence down about 12%, police say
During Monday's meeting of the Dallas City Council's public safety committee, council member Cara Mendelsohn said the strategies included in the city's violent-crime plan represent "next-level policing" enhanced by strong academic research.
Hot-spot policing had a “pretty significant impact,” with a 10.7% drop in violence in the grids during the first year of the violent crime plan, Tillyer said. He said violence in the grids accounted for about 5% of overall violence citywide before hot-spot policing. Afterward, 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 conditions that can increase crime with detailed operation plans 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.”
