Following a year of shutdown, downtown Dallas is preparing for its first big summer holiday, and previewing its new police and public safety plan.

Called the Public Safety Summer Operations Plan, the multipronged initiative is being conducted in partnership with the Dallas Police Department, Dallas Area Rapid Transit police, and other government and community partners.

“Public safety is and always will be our first priority,” said Kourtny Garrett, DDI President & CEO. “Downtown has historically been one of the safest areas of our city and we are determined to keep it that way through the good work of our field team members, including Downtown Security, Clean Team, Homeless Outreach, and our new DDI Ambassadors.”
