Neighborhood Safety

Safety is a cornerstone of the Hockaday Neighborhood Association as 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

  • Currently, 72 scheduled patrol hours per week (based on current resident participation)
  • Access to subscriber-only ENP patrolling officer mobile phone
  • Reflective yard sign, denoting your residence as a subscriber to ENP
  • Emails with updates about current activities
  • “Out of Town” extra patrols, with special attention to your home while you are away
  • Home Security Review: Our ENP officers are available to assess your home’s security



Know your neighbors

We know that a well-connected neighborhood is a safer neighborhood – and more fun! In this regard, knowing who your neighbor is makes it easier for all to keep an eye on each other's homes and be able to contact one another in case of problems. 

To help facilitate knowing your neighbors, we are providing a "Know Your Neighbors" Contact Form for you to use. This will give you an excuse to knock on that door you have wanted to for months or years! Just exchange contact info and repeat until you have completed your Circle of Neighbors (8 surrounding homes).
