This November, make Dallas safer today & for the next generation.
The Public Safety Bond, Proposition A, is an investment in the basics of public safety – a modernized fire station, a weatherproofed 911 center, critical crime labs, evidence storage, and training centers that will deliver 21st Century training for police.
The public safety bond will help replace buildings that are old and outdated without raising taxes. With the support of Dallas voters, our city will gain a generational investment that will make our city safer and our communities stronger.
Vote FOR bonds that will:
Get fire trucks to your door faster.
$22 million to replace the 73-year-old downtown fire station, providing a critical new facility that will fit modern fire trucks and enable crews to respond to emergencies more quickly.
Protect & weatherproof 911 systems.
$40 million to move the City's nearly 50-year-old Emergency Operations Center out of the basement of City Hall into a new, modern 911 operation's center that works during floods, ice storms, and power-grid failures.
Protect key evidence to prosecute criminals.
$150 million for a modern police property room and crime lab to replace a 74-year-old facility. The safe and secure storage of evidence is critical to prosecuting our most violent criminals, to tracking habitual criminals, and to solving cold cases.
Recruit officers & reduce response times.
$230 million to build new, modern training facilities to keep our officers prepared, attract new cadets to grow our police department, making us safer and reducing response times.
No new taxes.
The ballot is required by state law to say "this is a tax increase" but it isn't. Because Dallas has managed its debt responsibly, Proposition A will not raise the tax rate – and in fact, the city is on track to lower the tax in 2027 for the 11th consecutive year.
Vote FOR public safety at the bottom of your ballot.
The City of Dallas public safety bond will be at the end of your November ballot. For a safer city, stronger neighborhoods, faster response times, and investments that improve Dallas today and for our next generation, cast one vote FOR public safety bonds.
