According to DART’s latest quarterly data, crime is up 18% from January through March compared to the same time last year. Assaults, drug and theft offenses increased. However, DART says there’s context.
New crime data from DART shows another increase in crime reporting in the first three months of this year compared to last year. That includes assaults, thefts and more. DART did not respond to a request we made a few days ago for an on-camera interview. However, we spoke with a man who was up close to a frightening scene involving a machete on the transit.Tommy Starks will never forget the morning of May 8 when a man used a machete to threaten passengers and hit a train. He called 911 for help.
There’s no data provided to FOX 4 that truly shows if DART’s increase in security is leading to those calls.Still, despite the call volume, DART’s data reveals it’s cutting response times in half from about eight minutes to four minutes."There’s people sleeping in there, which I understand they need a place to sleep," Starks said. "But we’re going to work, and they’re doing drugs. There’s people that are drugged up.
