A memorandum issued by the city of Dallas on January 1st said that in most cases police officers would not be dispatched to certain types of calls like car thefts, criminal mischief and child custody disputes.
The so called “change in dispatch strategy” was recommended in a study designed to increase department efficiency.
Dallas Police Association President Mike Mata called the recommendations unfortunate but necessary without more officers.
“We’ve got to look at what we are really trying to do, and we are trying to get down that violent crime,” Mata said. “And to do that we are going to need more hands-on-deck, more officers answering those violent crime calls and doing more proactive policing.”
