Mayor Eric Johnson has repeatedly stated that public safety is the city's top priority — a message he reaffirmed during a speech this week. As reported by The Dallas Express, the mayor emphasized his administration's commitment to fully staffing the Dallas Police Department and maintaining strong support for law enforcement efforts.
With 11 homicides reported in the first 20 days of June, that commitment is now under intense scrutiny as police work to close open cases and residents demand safer streets.
