DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – The Dallas Police Chief is praising a new training program being provided to the department.
The ABLE program teachers Officers tactics meant to cut down on mistakes and prevent misconduct. Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia said Thursday that the program is a proactive tool for police.
“We all have our issues, but if departments that aren’t in crisis look ahead and say let’s implement this training before we’re in a crisis, then I think it will be beneficial to all. Chief Garcia said.
Earlier this year, the Dallas City Council approved $300,000 for the Caruth Police Institute at the University of North Texas at Dallas to bring the training to DPD.
Dallas is one of the first major U.S. cities to fully embrace the program.
