University of North Texas at Dallas <\/a>will convert those findings into tailored training courses for DPD personnel.<\/p>\nThe Violent Crime Reduction Plan has been in place since 2021 and has relied on data analysis from criminologists and researchers at the University of Texas at San Antonio. The department said the plan has produced year-over-year reductions in violent crime through data-driven strategies.<\/p>\n
UTD researchers will continue using a grid system that divides the city into roughly 330-square-foot zones, allowing analysts to track and review hotspot locations in detail.<\/p>\n
UNT Dallas will use UTD\u2019s research to build DPD-specific courses for both sworn officers and professional staff. According to the department, the training will be designed for employees at different career stages, including rank and file, front-line supervisors, and members of the command staff, as well as for different job functions.<\/p>\n
\u201cBringing this partnership home to Dallas reflects the strong collaboration between DPD and our community,\u201d said Chief of Police Daniel C. Comeaux. \u201cOur Violent Crime Reduction Plan has made incredible progress through identifying the limited number of locations which experience the most violent crime and implementing new methods for preventing crime.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUTD is going to be a key strategic partner in continuing to drive down violent crime, enhance public safety, and make Dallas the safest big city. We have a great relationship with UNT Dallas in the development of the new Law Enforcement Training Center, and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing our team members receiving training based off UTD\u2019s thorough research,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The department said the collaboration is expected to launch in Fall 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas Police Department vehicle on the street | Image by Arthur Martinez\/Facebook The Dallas Police Department will partner…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":435836,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[151052,102,104,103,401,29692,7183,35631,6050,69581],"class_list":["post-435835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-crime-hotspots","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-dallas-police","tag-university-of-north-texas-at-dallas","tag-university-of-texas-at-dallas","tag-unt-dallas","tag-ut-dallas","tag-violent-crime-reduction-plan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=435835"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435835\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/435836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=435835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=435835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
