You can receive real-time reports (with images or video) about crimes taking place in your neighborhood. You can also use your cell phone to report crimes-in-progress to the Dallas Police Department ... including sending images or video. Just such a crime prevention program could be tested in District 9. Tell Sheffie what you think.

Speaking of District 9 polls...
Several weeks back, Sheffie Kadane asked District 9 residents if they felt like once-a-week garbage collection would be adequate if coupled with once-a-week recycling pick up. Your poll responses may surprise you. Regardless of how you voted, if you do not have a big blue recycling bin, you can order your recycling cart here.
