High crime rates =
racism.
Cash handouts prevent vagrants from getting real help. Black,
Hispanic Males Bear Brunt of Dallas’ Murder Rate
Despite efforts by the
Dallas Police Department (DPD) to quell violent crime through a
data-driven hotspot policing approach, racial minorities still find
themselves disproportionately affected by the city's escalating murder
rate.
Despite declines in certain categories of violent crime, the
number of murders has continued to rise. According to the city’s crime
analytics dashboard, there have been 239 homicides this year—a
staggering 13.8% increase compared to the same period in 2022.
Blacks
and Hispanics top the list of crime victims in Dallas, comprising 55.2%
and 32.6% of this year's murder victims, respectively. These alarming
statistics underscore the urgent need for closer analysis of the root
causes of crime and DPD’s failure to staff the police department fully.
The ongoing staff shortage within DPD compounds the challenge of curbing
the murder rate in these neighborhoods. With approximately 3,000
officers in the field instead of the recommended 4,000, the strain on
Dallas's law enforcement is palpable.
Downtown Dallas has borne the
brunt of this shortage, experiencing significantly higher crime rates
compared to Fort Worth's city center, where specialized neighborhood
police units and private security guards contribute to maintaining
public safety. High crime rates = racism.
The combination of rising
crime rates, disparities in victim demographics, and a shortage of law
enforcement resources threatens to destroy entire communities. Proper
policing is the best way to foster trust between DPD and our Black and
Hispanic neighborhoods!

Do you think everyone deserves to live in a
safe neighborhood? Contact your city council member and tell them to
abandon their failed, anti-police policies that place all Dallas
residents in danger. Tell them Dallas needs to hire 1,000 more officers
immediately!

Shooting on Christmas Day Leaves One
Dead
Criminals don’t take a break for the holidays. The constant threat
of crime, even on Christmas day, creates a sense of fear that will drive
away not only families and businesses that keep Dallas running.
Criminals are thriving in Dallas because of our city’s weak police
policies!

  North Dallas Residents Want City To Clear Vagrant
Camps
City council refuses to abandon the government programs that
keep people in the cycle of homelessness and vagrancy. To solve this
problem, Dallas needs to centralize homeless services. Vagrant camps
can not be allowed to take root in our neighborhoods!

  Sheriff’s Office Helps Homeless Stay Safe on Roads
Panhandling is dangerous. On top of that, it is estimated that

t%20most,between%2070%25%20and%2080%25. 80% of Dallas panhandlers are
not homeless and they don’t need your money! Cash handouts are one of
the most harmful things you can do. If a panhandler is truly homeless,
it is much better to direct them to the nearest shelter where they can
get real help.

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 a group of vagrants squatting on private
property in North Dallas.

 District 11 Councilwoman Jaynie Schultz's
"Guilt Trip
Camp"
We named this camp in Jaynie Schultz’s District 11 “Guilt Trip
Camp.” There is no baby in that stroller, but the cars on the other
side can’t see that! Many panhandlers keep strollers nearby, and some
even have kids with them. But cash handouts are extremely harmful. If a
single mother is homeless, there are dozens of services to help!
 District 2 Councilman Jesse Moreno's
"Permanent Camp"
This
camp in Jesse Moreno’s District 2 has been dubbed “Permanent Camp.”
Camps in Deep Ellum come and go frequently, but this person is in this
spot every single day. It still begs the question: why are the
willfully homeless allowed to make themselves at home on our public
property?
  District 6 Councilwoman Omar Narvaez's
"Wheelchair
Camp"
This camp in Omar Narvaez’s District 6 has earned the title
“Wheelchair Camp.” We often see wheelchairs stashed around vagrant
camps, but do the inhabitants of the camps really need them? The truth
is that wheelchairs are often a convenient prop used to solicit more
handouts. Cash handouts perpetuate vagrancy, and they are harmful to
the recipient!

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.
