Constitutional Policing Unit

Our mission is to ensure that the Dallas Police Department preserves its integrity by upholding the highest standards of policing - legal, moral, and ethical.

Methods

Overview

The Constitutional Policing Unit employs two primary methods to execute its mission: Strategic Reviews and Limited Scope Reviews. Each follows a methodological approach and leverages internal and external subject matter experts to evaluate the strength of the Department's internal controls.

Strategic Reviews

Strategic Reviews include broad assessments of the Department's systems, strategies, and structure. Each is leveraged to identify long-term organizational improvements and enhance the alignment of the Department's operations with its mission and the needs of the community.

Limited Scope Reviews

Limited Scope Reviews include narrow assessments of the Department's regulations, functions, and procedures. Each is leveraged to identify targeted opportunities to maximize efficiency, promote data-driven decision making, and align the Department's regulations, functions, and procedures with applicable standards.
