Duncanville Police Department

10/22/2026

During the October 20 Duncanville City Council meeting, members of the Duncanville Fire Department and Duncanville Police Department were recognized for their extraordinary response to a life-threatening emergency on September 17, 2026.

When first responders arrived at an auto-pedestrian accident involving a patient with a mechanical heart pump, they discovered the device's external power supply had been severely damaged. With only minutes of emergency battery power remaining, firefighters and police officers worked together to recover missing equipment, develop an emergency power solution and stabilize the patient for transport to Parkland Hospital.

The City of Duncanville proudly recognizes Firefighter/Paramedics Kyle Dalton, Casey Vincent, Armando Martinez and Ben Hayle; Captain James Self; Engineer Robert Shaw; and Police Officers Tesean Bond and Kevin Sanchez for their professionalism, resourcefulness and lifesaving actions.

Please join us in congratulating these first responders for their outstanding service and commitment to our community! 👏

The Duncanville Police Department will wear mourning bands on our badges in honor and remembrance of Van Zandt County Deputy Adam Sherifi, who was killed in the line of duty, and in support of the Canton Police officer who was wounded during the same incident.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Deputy Sherifi’s family, friends, colleagues, and the entire law enforcement community during this difficult time. We also wish the injured officer strength and a full recovery.

We stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in law enforcement as we honor the ultimate sacrifice made in service to others.

Rest in peace, Deputy Adam Sherifi. Your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

On Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at approximately 6:05 AM, Duncanville Police Officers responded to a business in the 900 block of South Main Street regarding a suspect attempting to steal a vehicle. Upon arrival, officers observed the suspect leaving the location in the stolen vehicle. As the suspect fled, he struck a responding officer’s patrol vehicle. Officers initiated a pursuit that traveled north on Main Street and west on Red Bird Lane before the suspect crashed the stolen vehicle into the backyard of a residence. The suspect then exited the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot. Officers pursued the suspect and were able to apprehend him without further incident.

The suspect was identified as 30-year-old David Anthony Douglas of Austin, Texas. Douglas was taken into custody and charged with the following offenses:
Burglary of a Building
Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon Against a Peace Officer
Evading Arrest or Detention with a Previous Conviction
Unlawful Possession of a Fi***rm by a Felon
Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle

Thankfully, no members of the public, officers, or the suspect were injured during this incident.
We commend the officers involved for their quick response, teamwork, and commitment to protecting our community. Their actions reflect the hard work and dedication our officers demonstrate each day, often without recognition.

The Duncanville Police Department remains committed to protecting our community and holding those who choose to commit crimes in our city accountable for their actions.
