More crimes were reported in City Council Member Jesse Moreno’s District 2 last month than in any other city council district in Dallas.

As previously reported in The Dallas Express, Council Member Moreno has received the title of Crime Boss of the Month three times so far since the inception of the paper and recently logged the biggest year-over-year increase in drug offenses for the month of February.

His district stretches down a length of Harry Hines Boulevard toward downtown and includes the Deep Ellum and Oak Lawn neighborhoods, in addition to the area around Dallas Love Field.

The Dallas Police Department (DPD) documented 1,114 criminal offenses this March that took place in Council Member Moreno’s district.

In terms of raw numbers, District 2 had a serious problem last month with drug offenses (227), car burglaries (216), motor vehicle thefts (135), simple assaults (132), and vandalism (96), according to the City of Dallas Open Data crime analytics dashboard.

While Council Member Moreno’s district may have racked up the most individual incidents in March, District 2 was beaten out in a couple of categories by Council Member Paul Ridley’s District 14.

District 14 borders Council Member Moreno’s district from the north. It includes parts of downtown and the Uptown and Old East Dallas neighborhoods.

Ridley’s district had the most car burglaries last month, with DPD logging 239. Additionally, District 14 also had the most motor vehicle thefts committed. Some 160 were reported, according to City data.

As previously reported in The Dallas Express, Council Member Ridley has thus far proven unwilling to go on the record with the paper over the crime in his district, with numerous requests for comment going ignored.

A request for comment was sent to Council Member Moreno and his staff, but a response was not received by press time.

The Dallas Express, The People’s Paper, believes that important information about the city, such as crime rates and trends, should be easily accessible to you. Dallas has more crime per capita than hotspots like Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and New York, according to data from the FBI’s UCR database.
