Summer of Safety Press Conference 5 18 26

The City of Dallas held a press conference on May 18, 2026, to launch the fifth annual Mayor's Summer of Safety initiative. This program focuses on public safety during the summer months by providing free and low-cost activities for youth through partnerships with city departments such as Parks and Recreation, the Dallas Public Library, Dallas Police Department, and Dallas Independent School District. Key programs highlighted include Smart Summer, Youth Sports Ticket Program, and Discover Dallas, which offer educational, recreational, and cultural opportunities to keep children engaged and safe. While the event emphasized community collaboration and youth engagement, no specific procurement actions, contract awards, or budget allocations were discussed during the meeting.
