The Northeast Police Division is trying something different this spring — neighborhood walking tours. Basically, you find the police motor home, then saunter around with three or four sergeants while talking about that particular area’s crime issues. I haven’t made it yet, but it sounds interesting. It appears that the remainder of the tours will include visiting businesses and finding out if they have any crime or nuisance concerns.

The next one is 10 a.m-nnon Thursday at the shopping center at the corner of Northwest Highway and Plano. You don’t have to register to attend, or even let anyone know you’re coming — just show up. If you want more information, the contact is melinda.gutierrez@dpd.dallascityhall.com.
