The Forest Hill Security Program (FHSP) is a crime prevention program funded entirely by residents.  The program has been operating successfully since 2003 resulting in fewer crimes and more arrests than ever before.

The majority of police cars seen in Forest Hills are present because of generous pledge contributions. Currently the neighborhood is patrolled in 4-hour increments, six days a week, by Dallas off-duty uniformed officers in computer-equipped squad cars. This program discourages criminals by providing a protective outer layer of defense for the whole community.
