Don't make it easy
for people to live on the streets.Crimes increase when District Attorney
Creuzot won't prosecute. City Pursues 'Sanctioned Camps' Against Task
Force Recommendation
[link removed]
Last week, the City Council held a special meeting to hear the results
of the Homelessness, Organizations, Policies, and Encampments (HOPE)
task force. The task force noted a significant rise in homelessness and
recommended that the city increase focus on camp closures that offer
free housing to camp inhabitants. The task force did not recommend
city-sanctioned “low barrier” camps, but the city council went ahead
with the plan anyway.
Council members expressed support for camps that
are facilitated by the city because it would give vagrants who refuse to
utilize homelessness services a place to live away from streets and
public areas. However, the reason most vagrants refuse to use shelters
is that the shelters require sobriety. The proposed city-sanctioned
camps will allow vagrants to continue to use drugs.
Dallas residents
should ask why the city council wants to allow vagrants to continue to
use drugs at all. Why should that be part of the bargain? Most people
living on the street are mentally ill or hopelessly addicted to drugs.
How can we allow those people to live in squalor and misery?
The task
force said they could not recommend city-sanctioned camps because past
experiments in other cities resulted in “humanitarian nightmares.”
We
cannot formalize the filthy conditions of a camp full of mentally ill
drug users. Laws are in place to combat this. The city has all the
resources it needs.
Centralizing our homelessness services is the only
way to responsibly remove camps from public spaces, punish the criminal
vagrants that take advantage of our system, and offer real, life-saving
help to the homeless individuals who need it.
Contact your city council
member. Tell them not to follow the path of cities that enable vagrancy.
Tell them responsible cities have a central location to deliver services
to the homeless!

DA Creuzot Failed To Prosecute Human
Trafficking Suspect
District Attorney John “Let-Em-Go” Creuzot refused
to prosecute the man who kidnapped a teenage girl from a Dallas stadium
last year, sparking outrage from the community and frustration from the
girl’s parents. When the family attempted to give Creuzot additional
evidence, he refused. Dallas residents cannot feel safe with our
do-nothing DA. Crimes increase when DA Creuzot refuses to prosecute!

 Shoplifting Ticks Up in
Northern Dallas Amid Lack of 4K Cops
Shoplifting is still a problem
due to our police department’s staffing shortage. Thieves are confident
they will not be caught because there are not enough cops on the
street! Creuzot may have rolled back his theft-amnesty policy that
prevented prosecution for thefts under $750, but Dallas business owners
still suffer at the hands of emboldened thieves. DPD needs to hire
1,000 more cops ASAP.

 If We Want
Safer Streets, We Need Stronger Families
Children suffer the most from
high crime. In neighborhoods with high crime, some children get sucked
into the criminal lifestyle. Even worse, some innocent children are
caught in the crossfire. Strong policing and strong families are the
obvious solution to the problem. The city needs to do its part!

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, a City worker told KDS to "get away" from her!

 District 7 Councilman Adam Bazaldua's
"Skyline
Camp"
This camp in Adam Bazaldua’s District 7 has been dubbed “Skyline
Camp.” Do we want the rest of the world to associate Dallas’s skyline
with rampant homelessness and vagrancy? All across Dallas, our
beautiful city is marred by the filth created by these camps enabled by
our city council. Dallas’s city leadership has ignored this crisis for
too long. It is time for solutions, not more government programs!
  District 10 Councilwoman Kathy Stewart's
"Camouflage Camp"
This camp in Kathy Stewart’s District 10 has earned the title
“Camouflage Camp.” Dallas’s enforcement of the urban camping ban is
inconsistent, but the only camps that get cleared are the largest camps
in highly trafficked areas. However, camps that are hidden or located
far away from roads receive no attention from the city at all. It is
impossible to know how much drug crime and prostitution happen around
these camps. Vagrancy makes crime worse!
  District 7 Councilman
Adam Bazaldua's
"Slum Camp"
We named this camp in Adam Bazaldua’s
District 7 “Slum Camp.” Homeless camping in Dallas is out of control.
Locations like this are better described as government-sponsored slums.
The city council can’t solve this problem by moving the camps to a
location designated by the city while allowing drug use to continue.
Dallas needs to centralize homeless services and stop enabling the
willfully homeless.

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.
