Chief Daniel Comeaux held his first briefing with the committee on Monday. He pledged to examine how the department prioritizes emergency calls and how to free up more officers to handle incoming calls.

New Dallas Chief of Police Daniel Comeaux is pledging to take action on slow police response times in the wake of an ongoing series of reports from NBC 5 Investigates. On Thursday night, NBC 5 Investigates showed startling video of two 10-year-old boys who were standing on the sidewalk with their bicycles when they were hit by an SUV that jumped a curb. Dallas police confirm it took officers more than four and a half hours to respond to the crash and begin an investigation.

Receiving a 2024 duPont Silver Baton meant a lot - because it highlights the impact local reporting can have to hold those in power to account. Have a story that does that? Enter for #duPont2025 at https://t.co/giAnsm9fFn. Deadline July 1. #passingthebaton @columbiajourn

Thank you to the Peabody Awards for this incredible recognition - and congratulations to my NBC DFW teammates on "Against All Enemies". https://t.co/JPiBJ3iF5G

Thanks to our partners at @NBCNightlyNews for featuring our reporting on how high speeds are claiming too many lives on our roads - and what might be done to change that. @NBCDFW

.@NBCDFW analyzed federal data and found that, over 5 years, Dallas has the highest traffic fatality rate among America’s 10 largest cities. The number one factor in the deadly wrecks? Speed. @ScottNBC5 reports on the impact of this data and what experts say could help. https://t.co/NDvApYIUXS
