Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia speaks about his plans to boost morale, fight crime

[@jayd27]

Congratulations Chief...humble and personable...welcome to Dallas!

[@justinpowell2140]

I hope Dallas keeps him for a long long time. The guy is seriously just a regular guy who’s passionate about police work. Something you don’t see in chiefs these days.

[@auriking7]

Honestly I would love to work for him, its the fact that he is a natural and is honest about what he wants and what he see's fit to be the issue in Dallas. I have just applied to be apart of their department hopefully I am selected.

He can help teach people in these communities to protect themselves, and not depend on government for food, education, help, and their safety.

[@cajayson8301]

Well considering that Texas is one of the biggest receiver states, i.e. gets more back from the federal govt. than they pay, I'd say that's an indictment on the state as a whole! That being said, I'm unsure where Chief Garcia is obligated to address issues on food and education since those are handled by other agencies.

[@Eric-oj5sj]

@@cajayson8301 you are greatly mistaken, Texas is on the opposite end of that list and contributes more to the federal government than it receives.

I am glad he became the police captain for the city of Dallas Texas police department because he is the one that will do his job and also because he also the one that give fair chance if the Dallas Police Officers abuse there power he would listen to you . I am also Puerto Rican like him . I glad he going to be bring crime down in the city of Dallas Texas.

Mis felicitaciones para el capitán Garcia y espero que este año esté lleno de éxitos y muchas bendiciones espero también que podamos mejorar la situación en Dallas y creo que hay que analizar las causas de tanta violencia y evitar que sucedan eventos como en otras ciudades en las cuales la policía desafortunadamente ha cometido errores que se podrían evitar al tener equipos multidisciplinarios por ejemplo integrar psicólogos mediadores y médicos que ayuden a las víctimas o posibles agresores sin necesidad de qué la policíaSe vea en la necesidad de utilizar la fuerza a menos que sea absolutamente necesario para lograr mantener la buena opinión que todos tenemos de la policía de Dallas saludos cordiales

Boost morale! Is he gonna quit.

[@alexalex-xo6mj]

boost morale by weeding out rogue cops who think they own their jobs. I respect professional, emotionally balanced police officers, who are tough but reasonable and smart. And stop blaming out of control behavior on adrenaline. Hiring practices have got to be overhauled to prevent emotionally unstable people with unsavory character traits. and let the crybabies go.

[@Thoryl32]

I kinda agree, but it has nothing to do with hiring procedures being underutilized. It all comes down to how that officer was trained. That's were the overhauling needs to be implemented. After Training academy that should not be were an officers training, knowledge and Skill development should end. They need to mandate refresher classes for firearm discipline, advanced driving courses, Physical strength and stamina upkeep also year round training in hand to hand combat/ martial arts (Jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, wrestling, boxing, MMA., Mental/psychological well-being exams and exercises. What you are demanding out of an officer is impossible they are still human not robots they can't be preset with perfect decision making while maintaining equally great stress management skills especially during life or death circumstances. There will always be accidents or mistakes and bad cops but what helps reduce thos accidents, mistakes and bad cops is consistent training, advanced knowledge and skills and lastly everyone in each police department being cohesive and helpful with one another. A police department should discipline and honor

@@rubytuesday9319 so your logic is police are allowed to be corrupt and do whatever they want in bad neighborhoods? Oh okay. Let's become a third world country then yay!

Should’ve see to step retire, chief. The guess 250k a year in pension is not enough?

He can not stop crime people going to keep killing robbing shooting grang not going no where people need to monitor there kids more

[@codyhighroller]

They need to defund the police

What sense does that make

@Dothe Rightthing the criminals are benefiting big time from the regime we have now.

Idk, this guy sounds like a politician... He sounds like one of those new hire guards from '60 Days In'. Seems a little hardcore and bull headed.

[@attygarland6909]

I'm still mystified why we know NOTHNG about this man's personal background, esp. for someone who is head of our City's law enforcement agency. Nothing about marital status, kids, family, etc. Is he hiding something?

[@cajayson8301]

Because that is none of your business, perhaps?

[@whydoeseverybodyhateninjas4296]

He doesn’t sound kind. He sounds pro police.

He's done a great job. Violent crime isn't a light switch, but you need someone that connects with the community to improve the situation.
