Safety Initiatives
Expanded Neighborhood Patrol
ENP Program
Our neighborhood participates in the Expanded Neighborhood Patrol Program by hiring off-duty police officers to patrol our neighborhood. The program is coordinated through the Dallas Police Department. ENP is popular and successful in many Dallas neighborhoods, including Greenland Hills, Vickery Place, Cochran Heights, Hollywood/Santa Monica, Munger Place and Forest Hills. Its purpose is to raise police presence, reduce crime, improve communication and educate residents.
ENP hours cost us $52/hour. Anyone who lives in University Meadows can contribute to fund ENP hours, whether you rent or own. To participate, please visit our Dues page to make your contribution by credit card or mail a check payable to UMNA to 6333 E Mockingbird Lane, Suite 147-605, Dallas, TX 75214.
Benefits of ENP
Peace of Mind
Increased patrols mean our homes are checked more often when we are on vacation or away for an extended period.
Quicker Response
Police will respond quickly to your 911 calls when an ENP officer is on duty. You will not have to wait for the next available officer to respond.
Enhanced Awareness
ENP officers are experts on our neighborhood and are able to recognize suspicious activity more easily than DPD patrols (which occur rarely in our safe neighborhood).
