Dallas Mayor Eric L. Johnson, Police Chief Daniel Comeaux, City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert, and other city officials will announce the start of the fifth annual Mayor’s Summer of Safety campaign at a press conference scheduled for May 18.
The event is set to take place at the Thurgood Marshall Recreation Center in Dallas at 11:00 a.m. The initiative brings together several key leaders from across city departments as they prepare for summer activities aimed at safety and community engagement.
Participants in the press conference will include Arun Agarwal, President of the Dallas Park & Recreation Board; Dr. Pamela Lear, Deputy Superintendent of Dallas Independent School District; John Jenkins, Director of Dallas Park & Recreation; and Manya Shorr, Director of Dallas Public Library. According to the announcement released on May 15 by city officials, these leaders are expected to outline details about this year’s campaign during Monday’s event.
The Summer of Safety campaign is now in its fifth year.
