Please join us in establishing the Little Forest Hills Security Program!
Like the successful Forest Hills Security Program, established in 2003, we think its time to bring the benefits of crime prevention education and patrol services to Little Forest Hills.
This is a program offered by the Dallas Police Department.
This program is not affiliated with the Little Forest Hills Neighborhood Association. Participation is voluntary.

*Participants have the added benefit of the Home Watch Service:
Home Watch Service = When you are away for an extended time, or your home is under construction/vacant, an officer can specifically check your residence while on patrol.

Our neighborhood association has several members who have gone through the City’s VIP training program. This program has been inmplemented in several surrounding neighborhoods with positive results. The program is non-confrontational. Volunteers patrol the area, and use their cell phones to call 911 to report potential problems and also to alert neighbors of circumstances that might invite crime, like open garage doors, gates not latched, etc.Interested in volunteering?
