Dallas Police Department LGBTQ liaison Chelsea Geist announced she is bringing Seattle’s Safe Place program to Dallas. The decal DPD designed will be available to businesses, organizations and schools through Officer Geist.
The Safe Place program isn’t designed for residences. According to Geist, the original concept was developed by the Seattle Police Department in 2015 to provide more protection to victims of hate crimes and bullying.
The Safe Place logo is a trademarked logo and owned by the Seattle Police Department. The SPD has given permission to Dallas PD to use the logo and concept.
Dallas PD’s goal and purpose of the program is to educate the community and help victims of hate crimes and all crimes to report the crimes.
