Dallas at a Tipping Point: Violent Crime Rises, HERO Amendments Needed Now
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dallas received a harsh reminder of the crime crisis in our city with reports of yet another violent shooting over the weekend. At 2:00 AM on Saturday, police responded to a chaotic scene in Oak Cliff, where a young man was gunned down in an altercation outside a local business. With crime spiraling out of control, the truth is painfully clear: Dallas simply can’t afford to wait any longer.
That’s why the HERO propositions (S, T, U) are on the ballot this November 5th.

These city charter amendments are our best chance to get Dallas back on track by hiring 1,000 more police officers, ensuring that our streets are better protected, and drastically improving police response times. Currently, it takes an average of over two hours for officers to respond to major violent disturbances. For non-critical emergencies, Dallas residents are waiting nearly 5 hours for help. The HERO amendments will fix this once and for all—but they won’t pass without your vote.
City leaders have had plenty of chances. For years, they’ve made empty promises, watched crime rates rise, and let our neighborhoods suffer. They care more about political games than the safety of Dallas families. HERO isn’t just about adding police—it’s about accountability. For the first time, these amendments will give you the power to influence the city manager’s fate, whether it’s cutting bonuses or firing them outright. It’s time to hold our leaders accountable and force them to do their jobs.
Of course, opponents are scrambling to stop HERO, spreading fear that hiring more officers will bankrupt the city. But here’s the truth: what’s more expensive? Properly funding the police, or letting crime destroy our neighborhoods and drive businesses out of town? Dallas can’t afford more excuses from failed leaders.
Don’t forget, two council members even conspired to sneak in illegal charter amendments to undermine HERO and weaken public safety efforts. Thankfully, the Texas Supreme Court stood with the people and removed these corrupt amendments from the ballot, proving once again that it’s the citizens who have the power to demand real change. |

The time for action is right now. If we don’t pass these amendments, we’ll see more crime, even longer police response times, and continued failure from city leadership. Dallas deserves better. Our families, our businesses, and our future are on the line. Vote YES on S, T, and U this November. Give our police the resources they need, hold our leaders accountable, and let’s make Dallas safe again. The choice is clear—it’s now or never! |

District 6 Councilman Omar Narvaez
"Underpass Eyesore"
This mess is turning a once-decent area into a dumping ground right under W Northwest Hwy. Trash, tents, and chaos are spreading like wildfire, and it's all happening in plain sight! How long will Omar Narvaez let this prime spot rot while families and commuters pass by every day? Dallas deserves leaders who act, not turn a blind eye to this growing blight. It’s time for accountability and action to reclaim our city! |

District 2 Councilman Jesse Moreno
"Moreno’s Sidewalk Sideshow"
Here’s the latest sight on Marilla Street in the Government District, right under Council Member Jesse Moreno’s watch. Once a clean walkway, now it’s cluttered with carts, trash, and chaos, giving downtown a gritty makeover nobody asked for. When are city leaders going to take action and clean up our public spaces? Dallas can’t thrive with sidewalks that look like campsites. It’s time to take our streets back! |

District 11 Councilwoman Jaynie Schultz
"The Underpass Hangout"
Another day, another makeshift setup—this time in Lake Highlands under N Central Expressway, right in Council Member Jaynie Schultz’s District 11. This 'Underpass Hangout' has turned a busy area into a roadside lounge, with no action from leadership to keep it clean and safe. Families and commuters pass by this spot daily—how much longer will they have to watch Dallas’s public spaces turn into private resting spots? It’s time for our leaders to prioritize the city we all share! |

Mission 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.
