Expanded Neighborhood Patrol
ENP is a program in which off-duty Dallas Police Officers patrol neighborhoods. The Highlands North ENP is one in which the officer uses a Dallas Police vehicle equipped with a Mobile Data Terminal. The officers have the ability to apprehend suspects, which our officers have done in our neighborhood.
Why do we need an ENP? Safety is the #1 concern of the homeowners in our area, and we have definitely seen a decrease in criminal activity since the ENP program began. The regular beat police officers cannot be in our neighborhood as much as the ENP officers.
$$$ EQUALS PATROL HOURS This program is supervised by a Dallas Police Officer, but the financial aspect of the program is administered by the Highlands North Homeowners Association. Our officers patrol 20-25 hours per week, at a variety of times so that criminals will not be able to predict the patrol schedule.
With your membership, you automatically receive the benefits of the ENP program.
