The Dallas County Sheriff's Office will launch a youth art and essay competition on October 11th in partnership with National Faith and Blue Weekend (NFBW).
Law Enforcement officers across the country have pledged to continue to build relationships with the communities they serve. NFBW is a new bridge that will allow the Dallas County Sheriff's Office to create relationships with different houses of worship.
Sheriff Marian Brown states, "Our faith is a key component in how we live our everyday lives, as students continue to learn in a new normal the Dallas Sheriff's Office wanted to create an opportunity for the youth to express themselves createively."
The essay and art topic challenges youth to address (1) How can law enforcement build stronger relationships throughout the community? or (2) What has the year of 2020 taught you?
Please see the attached flyer for more details. #FaithandBlue #MovementForward #DallasCountySheriff
This is the last day to register to vote! The Dallas County Voter Education Program resulted in 265 individuals participating in their right to vote. #VoterRegistration #DallasCountySheriff
4 days left to register to vote in the General Election. The Sheriff's Office passed out 1,212 voter applications to incarcerated people within the jail system. #VoterRegistration #4Days #DallasCountySheriff
Did You Know:
There are more than four million Americans who are unable to vote due to a felony conviction. This includes people on probation or parole, in prison, and in some states, people who have completed a felony sentence.
The vast majority of the 665,000 inmates in local jails, though, are legally eligible to vote. This is because most of these people are awaiting trial, with a substantial additional number serving misdemeanor sentences, which do not result in disenfranchisement. Despite the fact that most jail inmates are eligible to register to vote, it is believed that relatively few actually do so. Much of this is due to the logistical difficulties involved.
Jail inmates obviously cannot go to a registrar’s office to obtain registration forms and for those who are already registered, obtaining an absentee ballot while incarcerated can be difficult as well. These obstacles disproportionately affect communities of color since 58% of jail inmates nationally are African American and Hispanic.
In order to address these issues, several campaigns have been undertaken in recent years designed to inform jail inmates of their voting rights and to enable inmates to register to vote. The Dallas County Sheriff's Inmate Programs and Inmate Services Section have a campaign inside the jail systems to accomplish voter registration. They have been very successful in registering people who can legally vote within the jail system. Find out more in the video. #VoterRegistration #DallasCountySheriff

OfferUp Offers Scams & Vehicles with Fake Titles
Over the past few weeks, the Dallas Sheriff North Texas Auto Theft Task Force (NTATTF) has warned consumers to be on the lookout for scams when buying a used vehicle.
The scammer will steal a vehicle from a dealership and then advertised it for sale online on apps like OfferUp.
These vehicles are usually listed way below market value and are being sold with fake or phony titles provided by the scammer.
The current scam is that once the buyer agrees to purchase the vehicle and pays the seller in cash, he or she is then tracked or followed back to their residence where the vehicle is stolen back by the seller/scammer to be used again in another fraudulent transaction. .
The North Texas Auto Theft Task Force offers these tips to help you avoid becoming a victim of vehicle cloning:
• Be careful when purchasing a used vehicle from someone advertising it online in an app or in a newspaper
• Any face to face meetings should take place at a location that is highly public, preferably at a police station
• Use the free NICB VINCheck system and get a vehicle history report to look for red flags
• Have the title and VIN number checked by authorities before putting down any money. The North Texas Auto Theft Task Force can check the vehicle status to insure it is not a stolen vehicle (214) 653-3430.
• Trust your instincts. If a used vehicle price sounds too good to be true, walk away.

According to the complaint, a surveillance camera recorded three men exiting DFW Gun Range around 1:45 a.m. on Sunday, May 31, shortly after the theft of more than 40 firearms.
In the span of just 80 seconds, the men allegedly pried open the side entrance of the facility, grabbed three rifles posted on the wall, and smashed glass cases to snatch several dozen handguns stored inside.
Following ATF’s release of the surveillance video, the Dallas Police Department received a credible lead in the investigation. A tipster claimed to know the identities of the three men, including Montgomery, that were shown in the surveillance video which aired on a local news channel.
ATF Special Agents tracked Montgomery to a Dallas apartment where he waived is Miranda rights and agreed to speak with agents. Montgomery admitted that he was present the night of the gun range burglary and stole multiple firearms.

ATF seeks to identify suspects
DALLAS — The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Dallas Field Division is offering a $5,000 reward, combined with an additional $5,000 offered by the National Sports Shooting Foundation (NSSF), for a total reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the burglary and theft of 46 firearms from a federal firearms licensee (FFL) in Dallas, Texas.
On Sunday, May 31, 2020, at approximately 1:25 a.m., three suspects forced entry into the DFW Gun Range, located in the 1600 block of West Mockingbird Lane in Dallas. Video surveillance captured the suspects gain access through a door on the west side of the building. The suspects removed 43 handguns and 3 long guns from the business in under 2 minutes, and then fled on foot.
Suspect 1 is a young, black male, height and weight undetermined. At the time of the burglary, Suspect 1 wore dark-colored athletic pants, a gray, hooded jacket, black tennis shoes with a white swoosh and light-colored gloves.
Suspect 2 is a young, black male, height and weight undetermined. At the time of the burglary, Suspect 2 wore medium-colored jeans with areas of distress, a red-colored sweat jacket, dark tennis shoes with a white swoosh, white soles and white laces and a dark mask covering the lower half of his face. During the burglary, Suspect 2 wore a multi-colored, school-style backpack with black straps. Suspect 2 and Suspect 3 alternated carrying a dark-colored, pet carrier-style bag with mesh sides.

TxDOT Urges Young Drivers To Plan Sober Rides Ahead of Spring Break
Spring Break is a dangerous time on Texas roads, with hundreds of impaired driving crashes involving young drivers occurring each year. As college students and young adults head to Spring Break destinations in the coming weeks, the Texas Department of Transportation’s “Plan While You Can” campaign reminds them to make a plan for a sober ride before the party starts.
“Drinking alcohol and driving can severely impact a young person’s future. Many promising lives are cut short due to the poor decision to drink alcohol and drive,” said TxDOT Executive Director James Bass. “We urge young drivers to make responsible choices during the Spring Break holiday. Before heading out, please plan ahead for a sober ride to ensure you get to and from your destination safely.”
During last year’s Spring Break* in Texas, there were 444 crashes involving young drivers who were driving under the influence of alcohol. Those crashes killed 11 people and seriously injured another 37.
The “Plan While You Can” campaign includes a statewide tour featuring the new “Plan to Win” virtual reality game where participants are a part of an immersive trivia game which poses questions related to drinking alcohol and driving, and also demonstrates the consequences of drunk driving. Players avoid “jail” by answering questions correctly, and winners progress to a waiting taxi to receive a safe and sober ride. The experience will visit 10 Texas cities during March.
While drivers under the influence of alcohol risk killing or seriously injuring themselves or others, they also face up to $17,000 in fines and fees, jail time and loss of their driver’s license. Visit SoberRides.org to find alternatives to drinking alcohol and driving, such as:
· Designating a sober driver or calling someone for a sober ride home
· Contacting a cab or ride-share service
· Using mass transit
· Spending the night
“Plan While You Can” is a key component of #EndTheStreakTX, a larger grassroots effort that encourages drivers to make safer choices while on the road. Since Nov. 7, 2000, at least one person has died on Texas roadways every single day and that’s why #EndTheStreakTX asks all Texans to commit to helping end the streak of daily deaths on our roadways.
