Gov. Greg Abbott is sending aid to the Dallas Police Department after they requested help following $7 million in cuts to their overtime budget by city leaders. It comes amid a spike in crime in the city, reports Breitbart.
"Abbott responded to a request from the Dallas Police Department to provide direct support in reducing violent crime, the governor’s office reported. The Texas Department of Public Safety is sending multiple resources to help the city that is currently in the midst of a spike in violent crime.
Those resources include DPS special agents, state troopers, and intelligence analysts. The additional manpower will be directed at helping support gang and drug enforcement operations."
Abbott said in a written statement: “Every Texan deserves to feel safe in their own community, and the State of Texas will continue to provide the city of Dallas with the resources they need to crack down on this heinous activity and protect Dallas residents.”
