On October 12, 2021, Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia presented the department's Domestic Violence Reduction Strategies to the Public Safety Committee, outlining a comprehensive approach to reduce intimate partner domestic violence (IPDV) offenses, recidivism, calls for service, and related homicides. The strategies include implementing Task Force recommendations through risk-based focused deterrence, federal prosecution of firearm-related cases, and enhanced police response protocols tailored to offender and victim risk levels. Implementation actions include establishing an Intimate Partner Unit with additional detectives, partnering with advocates for home visits, conducting a three-year IPDV pattern analysis through UTSA, developing case-referral protocols with the U.S. Attorney's Office, and providing officer training with updated resources—with full plan implementation targeted for summer 2022.
