Neighborhood Safety Safety is a cornerstone of the Hockaday Neighborhood Association. We strive to promote a safe environment for our community through individual vigilance and cooperative neighbors. We have two ongoing efforts which help improve the safety of our neighborhood: |
Extended Neighborhood Patrol Extended Neighborhood Patrol (ENP) is a Crime Watch program authorized by the Dallas Police Department (DPD) in which approved neighborhood organizations may hire armed, uniformed off-duty police officers to patrol their area. Neighborhoods using ENP programs have reported reduction in crime up to 50%. In cooperation with two of our neighboring associations, Royal Northaven Association and Les Jardins Estates, residents within the Hockaday neighborhood qualify for the ENP program and are encouraged to subscribe. The program administrator and DPD, supported by a collaboration of neighborhood representatives, determine the patrol schedule to optimize our budget, which is based on the number of subscribing members among the three participating neighborhoods. Simply put, the more residents who subscribe, the more patrol hours we can schedule. | Benefits of ENP

| Know your neighbors A well-connected neighborhood is a safer neighborhood – and more fun! Knowing your neighbors makes it easier for us all to keep an eye on each other's homes and enable us to contact one another in case of problems. |
