One of the propositions approved by Dallas voters last Tuesday was a change to the city's charter requiring that the department employ at least 4,000 sworn officers. That means the city must hire 900 additional cops.
Proposition U received 50.5% support from Dallas voters, NBCDFW reports.
Prop U doesn’t include a timing mechanism to specify how quickly Dallas police would have to increase the number of sworn officers from its current total of just under 3,100 to the required 4,000.
