New Report: Dallas Policing Leaves ‘Significant Room for Improvement’

It was quite a year for the Dallas police. The city recorded 200 murders, the most in over a decade. The governor sent state troopers to South Dallas amid complaints that the city’s police department is understaffed, drawing accusations of overpolicing from local community leaders. Not to mention the conviction of Amber Guyger, a Dallas cop sentenced to 10 years in prison for murdering a black man in his apartment.

So, how bad is Dallas really?

According to a new report, released last week by the local organizing arm of the left-leaning Center for Popular Democracy, Dallas has “significant room for improvement” in its use of force policies and its cooperation with federal immigration authorities. It was “making progress,” however, in its independent oversight.
