A new report to be presented to Dallas City Council Members Tuesday shows a continued reduction in overall violent crime.
One of the police programs that helped achieve those results is expanding to a troubled South Dallas apartment complex, where residents Monday said they welcome the extra attention.The security gates were wide open at the Rosemont at Meadow Lane apartments Monday on Meadow Street at Elsie Faye Heggins Street.Branch said young people run through the complex, tearing things up and scratching residents’ cars.
License plate reading cameras posted outside the complex may help detect stolen vehicles that have also been dumped at the complex, according to tenants and police.As a designated PNI location, expanded attention to code enforcement, trash, lighting, and other things that make a place more appealing to violence will also be addressed along with crime.
The tenants at Rosemont at Meadow Lane said they are impatient for crime reduction results at their location.
