Crime crept up from 2022 to 2023 up but since program inception in 2020 crime is down 63%+
The crime rate in our area has increased by 4% since last year (January to September YoY). Our area went from 25 crimes in 2022 to 26 crimes this year. However, since the program began in 2020, we’ve seen a 63.38% decrease in crime in the five categories we track: burglary of residence, burglary of motor vehicle, theft, criminal mischief, stolen vehicle. 

SENP Annual Membership Meeting


We had about 35 people attend our SENP Annual Meeting on Thursday, Oct. 26.

Lauren Law/president (2nd from right) & Jim Nugent/treasurer (far left) shared a summary of SENP 2023 membership numbers, patrol shift hours, crime stats, patrol activity, member survey results, crime prevention tips and financials.

Beth Wing (4th from right), principal of W.T. White shared a summary of her W.T.W Principal report which included information about trash, traffic, attendance, turf field & track updates. We want to hear what’s happening with W.T. White because we all want to be good neighbors and part of that  is getting to know each other and having open communication.  

She’s invited the community to attend their Lights at White front porch event to celebrate the season on Dec. 5 at 5:30 p.m. They will feature their choir, jazz band and dance performances, plus goodies from the Student Council.

Q&A
Our officers are here to patrol our neighborhood and are not here to give tickets for wrong way parking/expired inspection stickers. 

The large bus that gets parked on Rickover apparently belongs to a neighbor on Thunder Road and is illegally parked. This has since been looked into by SENP patrol officer who spoke with the driver on 10/24/22. He is on contract with DISD, transportation for inter school connections for students while the district is short on drivers. Our SENP officer advised him to park on school grounds and not on the neighborhood streets.  He complied and left. 

Officers are patrolling, even if you aren’t seeing them. We check patrol activity sheets each month against the DPD car rental records and each officer sends a text check in each time they are on patrol. 

4-way stop sign at Willow and Drujon is being considered but is not being handled via SENP.  

Keep reporting students who are hanging out in the residences and alleys near WT White High School to 911. Also report any speeders down alleyways or streets to 911. 

Remind any person or company working at your home to lock their trucks or take all expensive tools inside. 

2023 Enrollment Begins November 1
2023 begins November 1, 2022. Please visit https://schreiberenp.org/join/ to join today. 
Any member not renewing should return their yard sign to SENP by
December 31, 2022.

Gay Donnell Willis Crime Update on District 13
Crimes against persons are down across the district by 5.45% when compared to last year. 
District 13 has the lowest rate of crimes against persons in  
 all of Dallas. 

Crimes against society are down by 2.53% compared to last year. (Crimes against society include gambling, drug offenses, prostitution, animal cruelty, weapon law violations, pornography/obscene materials. 

District 13 has seen a 17.86% rise in crimes against property. Almost 98% of this rise is from Theft from Motor Vehicles, Theft of Motor Vehicle Parts/Accessories or Unauthorized Use of Motor Vehicle (UUMV.
Again let’s all do our part and TAKE, LOCK & HIDE property in all motor vehicles. Leaving items visible is an invitation for criminals to take your hard earned property. Don’t let them do that! 

Homelessness Rapid Rehousing Initiative
Gay also gave a brief update on the Homelessness Rapid Rehousing Initiative, which surpassed its first year of housing over 1200 people. She asked that residents call 311 to report encampments as the City uses this data to prioritize where to reply resources. While asking for money from a sidewalk is a protected right, a panhandler may not enter a traffic lane–please call 911 if you see this. She also reminded us who want to help others to give through a nonprofit that is better equipped to help versus giving money, food or other items as it trains panhandlers to stay where they are.
