NORTH TEXAS CRIME COMMISSION
Mission Statement
The mission of the NTCC is to make North Texas safer by linking law enforcement, businesses, educational organizations, government, media, and all citizens together in the fight against crime. The NTCC has had great success in fulfilling this mission over the years because of the outstanding participation from a wide variety of organizations and individuals: federal agencies, sheriff departments, district attorneys, police chiefs, and many individuals from the private sector. Making North Texas safer can only happen through the cooperation of federal, state, and local law enforcement as well as the members of the communities in which they serve, working together with the common purpose of preventing crime and assisting those law enforcement agencies.
Our History
The North Texas Crime Commission was formed in 1950 as Dallas was experiencing massive post WWII growth and the region’s growth and prosperity was in turn attracting a number of organized criminal elements and organizations. The downtown Dallas business community originally named the organization “the Dallas Crime Commission” and it focused its attention to supporting law enforcement at the local, regional, state and federal levels and initially focused its attention primarily in the City of Dallas. As the region continued to grow and a large number of cities began to experience the explosive growth that was Dallas’ alone the name of the organization was changed to the “Greater Dallas Crime Commission” in 1975. And changed again in 2000 to the “North Texas Crime Commission” said name becoming an active metaphor as to the continued increasing population growth and sprawl of the greater DFW Metroplex.
