The City of Dallas has received ARRA formula and competitive funding to support public safety efforts citywide. This funding includes grant resources to support the Internet Crimes Against Children Initiative in its detection, investigation, and prosecution of internet-based crimes. Additionally, support was granted through the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant program and through Community Oriented Policing Services to support salaries for 91 new officers, to purchase public safety equipment and squad cars, to assist in the case management of ex-offenders, and to support four existing community prosecutors. Funds were also received to provide technology-enhancements for the police department. These enhancements will assist with investigations, prosecution and data management.
