The Dallas Police Department will soon require you to report a car accident, a lost wallet, a stolen bike, or similar non-emergencies online beginning July 3.
The change comes during one of the busiest holiday weekends for calls to emergency dispatchers for illegal fireworks and celebratory gunfire.The Dallas Police Department encourages those who are reporting random gunfire to call 911,” a DPD spokesperson said. “If they are reporting fireworks, they can report it through 311 or by also calling 911 since it is something that is in progress.”
Other North Texas police departments including Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano and Denton report they offer non-mandatory online reporting systems.. Those who lack access to the internet can visit a local library or police substation kiosk.
