 "Community policing"
gets personal
Coming soon to District 9, a test with the Dallas Police Department of a program that "puts offense and offenders where they
need to be, under
watchful eyes" ... meaning yours. The software, created by iThinQware, automatically delivers crime data to your PDA, cell phone or e-mail. It brings the power of community policing to citizens' hands. Tips and reports can be shared with others ... including the media.

Damaged two years ago by rushing waters from heavy rains, the City is taking advantage of this opportunity to not only repair but improve the area. Back Talk Lakewood/East Dallas summarizes the project as a "$16.7 million redo, which will add balconies, a walkway with separate pedestrian and bicycle trails, and lots of new landscaping."

 It was a great night out!
Congratulations to all the neighborhoods in District 9 that held National Night Out events to remind residents that we can keep our neighborhoods safe ... and vibrant. Did you take photos? Send some to us and well post them here at sheffiekadane.com.
 Volunteer for our schools!
The Highland Meadows Neighborhood Association reminds us that —especially now with the recent teacher layoffs — Dallas ISD schools have a real need for volunteers. "Key office personnel have been dismissed, and volunteers are needed to help in the office to answer phones and do other tasks," the HMNA tells us.
The online application take great care to make sure that volunteers are screened and matched. If you can help, support our students as a school volunteer.
