Expanded Neighborhood Patrol

Expanded Neighborhood Patrol (ENP) is a program authorized by the DPD in which neighborhood organizations may hire armed, uniformed, off-duty police officers to patrol their area.  The organizations may pay to reserve a Dallas police car for use by the officer, subject to availability.  Frequency and length of individual patrol periods are decided by the group, with a 2-hour minimum patrol period required.  ENP has proven to be very effective in reducing crime in neighborhoods.  It is also the most expensive crime prevention program and can require a great deal of time and effort to organize and operate on a continuing basis.
