Crime gets worse;
Dallas city council members do nothing.
Dallas's per capita crime is up
while the per capita police budget is down.KDS Awards Crime Boss Trophy
at City Council Meeting
It is Keep Dallas Safe’s mission to expose
mismanagement and hold Dallas city leaders accountable, so we thought
Councilman Gracey deserved to be publicly recognized for his failures to
keep his constituents safe.
At the latest City Council meeting,
[link removed] KDS Executive
Director Jake Colglazier presented an unofficial Crime Boss award to
Councilman Zarin Gracey to highlight his second time receiving the title
from The Dallas Express newspaper.
Every month, The Dallas Express
awards the title of Crime Boss to the council member whose district
experienced the greatest increase in crime over the previous year.
Gracey’s District 3 saw a staggering 41.3% Crime Score increase from
November 2022 to November 2023. This is Gracey’s second time receiving
the Crime Boss title in a mere three months.

Several factors
contributed to District 3’s Crime Score increase, including a 59.1%
increase in burglary, a 35.6% increase in assault, and an unnerving 75%
increase in motor vehicle theft.
If Councilman Gracey and the rest of
the City Council truly wish to stop the rise in crime and violence, they
need to use our tax dollars to hire more police. Dallas Police
Department (DPD) needs to go from 3,000 to 4,000 officers as soon as
possible.
Are you fed up with the rising crime throughout Dallas? KDS
will continue to shed light on the inaction and negligence of our City
Council, but we can’t do it alone. We want to see Dallas residents like
you at the next City Council meeting!
In the meantime, use the button
below to contact your City Council member to ask them what they are
doing to keep their constituents safe. Demand that they stop wasting our
money and hire 1,000 more police officers!

Press Highlights:
Man Drove For Miles With Deceased Pedestrian On
Vehicle
Saturday night, a man was fatally struck in a hit-and-run car
accident. However, the victim was not found in the road, but in the
passenger seat of the killer’s vehicle. The pedestrian went through the
car's windshield, and the driver continued for over 40 miles. How did
the vehicle make it out of Dallas without being noticed? There aren’t
enough cops on our streets!

  City Leaders: Judges Must Close ‘Revolving Door’
of Crime
At a recent event, Mayor Eric Johnson and Police Chief Eddie
Garcia noted that Dallas is not using all the tools available to deter
crime. DPD is currently understaffed by nearly 1,000 officers, but the
department’s hotspot policing strategy is bearing fruit. The problem is
that when criminals are arrested, they are often released by

increasing because District Attorney Creuzot refuses to prosecute!

  One Dead In Road Rage Shooting On
Downtown Freeway
A driver was shot while driving on RL Thornton
Freeway near downtown on Saturday. How can a city tolerate random
murders near its city center? As crime increases and the vagrancy
crisis continues to spiral out of control, businesses and productive
residents of Dallas will begin to flee. Cities die when criminals are
allowed to thrive!

Tracking Illegal Camps:
[link removed] Each
week the KDS team drives its planned route through Dallas
photo-documenting and cataloguing illegal encampments to inform the
city of these locations. Our team livestreams these activities giving
the community a first-hand look at the vagrancy crisis in Dallas.

In
this stream, we expose the return of the camp on Oak Lawn at IH35.

 District 14 Councilman Paul Ridley's
"After School Camp"
We named this camp in Paul Ridley’s District 14 “After School Camp.”
We have covered this camp located outside of Booker T Washington High
School, and it is still there. Who can be comfortable with their kids
going to school in Dallas when vagrants are allowed to set up camp
right outside?
 District 2 Councilman Jesse Moreno's
"Nightlife
Camp"
This camp in Jesse Moreno’s District 2 has been dubbed
“Nightlife Camp.” This camp in Deep Ellum represents the average
nightlife experience in Dallas these days. You can’t go anywhere in
Dallas without being accosted by vagrants! Local restaurants and
businesses suffer when the city enables the willfully homeless!
  District 10 Councilwoman Kathy Stewart's
"Squatter Camp"
This
camp in Kathy Stewart’s District 10 has earned the title “Squatter
Camp.” There is an advertisement on this empty lot, but who would want
to buy or lease land with vagrants squatting on it? Vagrancy affects
property values, but what recourse do residents and businesses have
when the City Council continues to enable those vagrants?

Statement:
Keep Dallas Safe exists to address crime and homelessness
in Dallas with the goal of transforming Dallas into the safest large
city in Texas for residents and businesses. We aim to have a City
Council that prioritizes crime rate which directly determines the
quality of life in Dallas. We do this by fighting against the "defund
the police" movement, holding accountable our city leaders' efforts
towards lowering district crime rates, and highlighting our city's
homelessness problems by pushing for enforcement of the prohibition of
urban camping.
