SAFER DALLAS ANNOUNCES FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN TO BRING REALITY BASED TRAINING TO DPD OFFICERS Safer Dallas Better Dallas has announced a major fundraising campaign to fund a state of the art, reality-based training center for the Dallas Police Department (DPD). The $2 million plus campaign will provide a reality-based facility pioneered in part by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Hogan's Alley center in Quantico, Virginia. The facility will give DPD officers a realistic learning laboratory to practice de-escalation and appropriate scenarios critical to the safety of residents and officers. The Safer Dallas Better Dallas mission is to keep people from becoming crime victims, engage them in a partnership with Dallas Police and make Dallas America's safest big city. The importance and timing of the facility is not lost in the current national environment. "The Department of Justice has said that reality based training is the best training that law enforcement officers can be provided with," said DPD Executive Assistant Chief, David Pughes. "Chief Brown has already tripled the reality based training for staff and is committed to providing Dallas Police officers with the best training in the country in order to make Dallas America's safest big city." DPD has more than 3,640 uniformed sworn officers and 556 civilians charged with ensuring the safety of 1.3 million residents and providing the highest level of serv- ice.

T.D. Jakes, the Dallas pastor and film producer who's no stranger to religious TV audiences, is making a play for the mainstream this summer with a new talk show. Debmar-Mercury and TEGNA Media announced Thursday plans for a trial run on four TEGNA stations set to run between Aug. 17 and Sept. 11 of this year. The one-hour show will deviate from Jakes' spiritual programming of the past, instead focusing on "mainstream, headline-driven" content. The show will be aired on WFAA in Dallas, from 3 to 4 p.m. WXIA in Atlanta: 2 to 3 p.m. KARD IN Minneapolis: 2 to 3 p.m. And WKYC IN Cleveland: 2 to 3 p.m.

Following her sibling's win, a proud Venus gave Serena a sweet hug and said, "So happy for you." Speaking about her vic- tory later, Serena told reporters (via the Associated Press): "Obviously we are very, very tough competitors on the court, but once the match is over, the second it's done, you know, we're sisters, we're roommates, and we're all that." With two more wins, Serena will be the first ten- nis pro in a quarter-centu- ry to win all four Grand Slam titles in one season, a feat that was last accom- plished in 1988 by Steffi Graf. "That would be huge, not just for me, but for my family, just for what it rep- resents and how hard we have worked and where we come from. So it would Serena Williams (L) hugs Venus Williams after defeating her be a moment for our fami- ly," Venus, 35, told the AP during their Women's Singles Quarterfinals match on Day Nine on Tuesday.
