Early this afternoon a group of Sergeants teamed up to provided cold bottled water and informative flyers to the homeless. The flyers contained information to raise awareness of heat related injuries among the homeless and citizens who spend a large amount of time outdoors. Currently, there are approximately 1,098 homeless individuals living in the City of Dallas.
With temperatures reaching over 100 degrees this summer, homeless individuals are in need of clean drinking water to avoid suffering from heat- related illnesses. This team of Sergeants traded in their ticket book for cold bottles of water to hand out to the homeless and citizens within the Downtown area. Safety is Dallas PD’s top priority and raising awareness to avoid heat exhaustion or heat stroke this summer is one step closer to Keeping Dallas Safe. #OperationH2O

Property crime has always been a driving force to our crime rate, and with the holiday season quickly approaching, the Dallas Police Department would like to provide a few tips to help the community should you become the victim of a property crime.
The most effective way to recover stolen property is through the property serial number. Citizens should record their property information, including description, make, model, and serial number on an inventory form. Should you become the victim of a property crime, be sure to provide the inventory list of your stolen property to the responding officer. This helps detectives locate stolen items at pawn shops or identify property items that may have been abandoned by the criminals. Completing this simple process increases your chances of recovering your property and speeds up the time it takes for you to get your items returned.
If you are unable to locate a serial number on a particular item, you should take an inventory of that item and permanently mark it with your Texas Driver’s License or ID number. This can be easily done by utilizing a permanent ultra violet marker and writing the letters “TXDL” and your license or ID number on a non-removable part of the property that can be seen without having to disassemble.

The Dallas Police Department Financial Crimes Unit is aware of the Equifax system breach. Over 150 million people across the nation have been affected. State law specifies that one must be harmed or defrauded before an official Dallas Police report can be generated. A breach alone does not facilitate that type of action.
Equifax is working with their customers to freeze credit reports and the Dallas Police Department recommends that everyone regularly monitor their credit reports. You may contact the Dallas Police Department Financial Crimes Unit at 214-671-3517 to make an offense report if you have evidence that you have been harmed or defrauded.
