Statement from Dallas Mayor Eric L. Johnson on joint meeting of Committees on Public Safety and Government Efficiency
DALLAS—Dallas Mayor Eric L. Johnson released the following statement after the November 6, 2025 joint meeting of the Dallas City Council Committees on Public Safety and Government Efficiency:
“This hearing proved that our process works: open, transparent public discussion leads to informed decisions.
“I am grateful to Chairs Cara Mendelsohn and Maxie Johnson, to members of the public who weighed in, to the City Councilmembers who asked thoughtful questions and kept an open mind, and to Chief Comeaux and federal officials for providing their perspectives.
“Clearly, there remains some confusion about how this program would work fiscally—and whether and how it would work operationally for the Dallas Police Department. While we should always be willing to discuss ways we can cooperate with our federal law enforcement partners to make our communities safer, we cannot afford to stray from our public safety strategies that have led to a remarkable five-straight years of violent crime reduction in Dallas.”
