I sat down again with the Bridging the Divide podcast, and was joined by two recruits from Class 406. I encourage you to take a few minutes and listen to our conversation on what it means to be Dallas Police Officers.

We had a fascinating discussion with Mike Wagers of Axon. Anyone in the law enforcement world knows the name and the advancement of tech in our day to day duties. We talk about the origins of the company to what is on the horizon. Episode 123 is out and available on all streaming platforms. @axon_enterprise

Fact check: Dallas has experienced 49 fewer murders in 2025 compared to this point in 2024 - putting us at 6.29 murders per 100,000 residents. Lower than LA’s 6.95!

With heavy hearts but strong spirits, members of the @DallasPD stood alongside North Texas agencies in the annual Run for the Blue 5K. We remember and honor the five brave officers who gave their lives on July 7, 2016. Their courage inspires us to keep running forward every day.

💙 OFFICER DOWN 💙
AMBUSH IN LUBBOCK

Two Texas Tech Officers were ambushed and shot. Other officers returned fire, killing the suspect. Both Officers are in stable condition and expected to fully recover.

This is the daily reality for Texas law enforcement.

We stand with the wounded.
We honor the brave.
