We had another fairly good month with a low number of total offenses overall. However, the numbers of home break-ins and car break-ins were about typical. Just a quick holiday reminder to please have packages delivered to your office or have them require a signature for delivery. Leaving packages on your porch this time of year is not a good idea.

Lowest Greenville PD Comes to Vote
The Lowest Greenville Planned Development is an effort to resolve some of the persistent crime problems caused by a small number of bars on Lowest Greenville which have consistently drawn violent crime into the area. The plan is working its way through the City of Dallas zoning process at this time. The message below from Angela Hunt and the six area neighborhood associations describes how you can help us get this proposal passed. There is an organized opposition which wishes to continue business as usual, so your support is needed. Please take a moment to email the CPC with your support of this proposal.
Next week, the City Plan Commission will vote whether to recommend a proposal to require Lower Greenville businesses to get a permit from the city to operate after midnight. This effort enjoys broad, unprecedented support from all surrounding neighborhood associations, major property owners, business owners, the Dallas Police Department, and City Councilmembers Angela Hunt and Pauline Medrano.

The full reports are below. Last month I told you about the murder that occurred on Lowest Greenville after hours. Although they’ve collected some evidence no arrest has been made and the investigation is still ongoing. Continue reading “October 2010 Crime Report”
2010 National Night Out
What a great turn-out we had this year! One police officer estimated more than 800 people turned out for NNO2010. National Night Out is designed to strengthen community relationship between residents and public service organizations such as police, city departments and charitable organizations that serve the community.
September 2010 Crime Report
After a two month crime wave, I’m happy to say that we are back down to normal levels. After the big spike in home burglaries in July, we bumped up our ENP hours to 15 per week instead of the usual 10 hours. As a result, we were down in every category, but especially lower on residential thefts and burglaries. Unfortunately, we do not have enough members in the ENP program to maintain the higher level of patrols year round, so we have moved back to 10 hours a week. (Yes, that’s a plug for more members!) For more information on the program, click the ENP link on the menu above. Continue reading “September 2010 Crime Report”
