Dallas City Council member Casey Thomas II said his District has among the city’s lowest crime rates, largely because of a collaboration between his office and the Citizens Safety Advisory Committee.

“We’re not just going to complain about the issues, we are going to come together as a neighborhood and have monthly meetings with (Dallas Police) Chief Eddie Garcia,” Thomas said, as he talked about the negative perceptions of his district.

Thomas spoke about crime, housing, and food desert, among other issues during his “State of District 3” address, Thursday at the Thurgood Marshall Recreation Center.

The four-term council member also focused on the district’s successes – and challenges – including the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Meanwhile, Thomas said the city would combat rising infection rates and control the spread of the Coronavirus by offering COVID-19 testing beginning Tuesday, Jan. 11, at the Thurgood Marshall Recreation Center, 5150 Mark Trail Way, in Dallas. Testing will be available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays, he said. 

According to Thomas, the pandemic had forced city leaders to become creative with communicating and disseminating information on health and safety issues. 

Thomas also updated residents on existing and future projects and outlined goals for the District.
