So far this year, the City of Dallas has logged 121 murders and non-negligent homicides, according to its Crime Analytics dashboard.
The Dallas Police Department continues to be hampered by a chronic shortage of police officers, and the City has yet to meet the standards mandated by Dallas voters through Proposition U last year. The measure requires the City to maintain a police force of 4,000 sworn officers and to provide the force with a pay and benefits package that ranks among the top five in the metroplex for cities with populations over 50,000.
