Kids Were Hit. Police Took Hours.
Is This the New Normal? |

Two 10-year-olds were struck by an SUV while walking on a sidewalk in Dallas. It wasn’t late at night. It wasn’t in some remote area. It was broad daylight, in a residential neighborhood. But after the 911 call went out, the unthinkable happened: police didn’t show up for 4.5 hours.
This isn’t a one-off failure—it’s a symptom of a citywide crisis. Keep Dallas Safe reviewed recently updated 911 response time data, and the results are devastating. Non-emergency calls wait more than five hours on average. Even Priority 2 and 3 calls, including assaults and serious threats, routinely face long delays. Dallas is falling dangerously short of keeping people safe.
City officials love to act like this is just a staffing issue. But voters already addressed that. In 2024, Dallas residents overwhelmingly passed Proposition U, requiring the city to staff 4,000 police officers. That mandate still hasn’t been met—and no one at City Hall seems to care. Not the City Manager. Not the Mayor. And so far, not even our new police chief, Daniel Comeaux.
Dallas parents shouldn’t have to wonder if help will come when their child is in danger. They shouldn’t have to watch their communities deteriorate while leadership shrugs. If Prop U meant anything, it meant we expected more from the people in charge. |

Enough is enough. If your neighborhood isn’t safe, your representative isn’t doing their job. Contact your City Council member today. Tell them Dallas can’t wait hours for help. Tell them to honor the law, fund the force, and fix this crisis now.

“Meanwhile, in ‘Safe’ Dallas…”

They say crime is down. But if you actually live here, you know better. Shootings in school zones. Kids hit on sidewalks. 7-hour police wait times. Street takeovers ending in death. A man killed by a stray bullet while lying in bed with his wife. These aren’t cherry-picked headlines, this is the weekly reality for Dallas families.
The growing disconnect between City Hall’s press releases and what’s happening on the ground is clear. Crime stats might be down on paper, but public safety is collapsing in real life. Don't let corrupt city leadership control the narrative.

17-Year-Old Killed, 17-Year-Old Charged—Two Futures Gone
Another teen life taken. Another teen life ruined. 17-year-old Nathaniel Vazquez was found shot dead in a car, and now another 17-year-old is charged with his murder. Two futures gone before graduation. This is what a culture with no guardrails produces. What are we doing?

Man Killed by Stray Bullet While Lying in Bed
He was lying in bed next to his wife when a stray bullet tore through their apartment and ended his life. Dozens of rounds were fired. No arrest. No suspect. Just a dead husband. West Oak Cliff is becoming a war zone, and innocent families are paying the price.

Street Racing Turns Deadly in South Dallas
Street racing just killed an innocent person in South Dallas. One of the racers veered into oncoming traffic, crashing into a pickup truck and killing the driver. The other driver fled the scene. This is what happens when lawlessness takes over the streets—reckless chaos with deadly consequences.

Tracking Illegal Camps:

District 2, Councilman Jesse Moreno
"Billboard Camp"
Tucked under a looming billboard on Coombs Street, this encampment has grown into a tangle of tents, tarps, cardboard piles, and roadside debris. The area looks more permanent with every visit, and there’s no sign the city plans to intervene. Councilman Jesse Moreno, how long do you plan to let this situation expand? |
|
|
|
|
|
District 10, Councilwoman Kathy Stewart
"Concrete Cot"
Set up along the Forest Lane underpass, this crude bedding area is stacked with blankets, boxes, and debris. It's not just an eyesore—it’s a symbol of city inaction. Council Member Kathy Stewart, when will leadership step up and start guiding people toward real solutions instead of letting this become the status quo? |
|
|
|
|
|
District 2, Councilman Jesse Moreno
"Hidden in the Brush"
Beneath the bridge off Oak Lawn Avenue, a concealed encampment has taken shape—complete with tarps, tables, and scattered belongings. The overgrown brush keeps it out of sight, but it doesn’t make it any less real. Councilman Jesse Moreno, how many more of these makeshift settlements are we willing to ignore before real solutions take root?

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.
