SAFER DALLAS BETTER DALLAS

Safer Dallas Better Dallas is an active Dallas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that partners with the Dallas Police Department, civic organizations, businesses, and neighborhood groups to fund technology, training, and community programs that reduce crime and strengthen public trust. The organization was founded in 2005 and focuses on targeted investments such as neighborhood cameras, bait cars, narcotics dogs, officer equipment, youth outreach and training initiatives. Over its history Safer Dallas reports having raised more than $21 million to support DPD initiatives; recent work includes rolling out an enhanced citywide Project Starlight public-safety technology program (launched in pilot form and expanded toward citywide deployment in 2022) and continued funding for officer training, community engagement programs (DPD to You(th)), and crime-fighting technology. Recent financial filings show the organization continuing to operate and fund initiatives (most recent fiscal-year summary shows modest revenue and active assets).
