DALLAS - Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson wants the city manager to add more police officers to next year's budget and salary increases.
This comes after the city council cut $7 million from the Dallas Police Department's overtime budget last year.
Johnson said the city manager's current budget would actually cause the police force to shrink by not hiring enough officers to replace those that leave.
