The Northeast Regional Command Center (NERC) is located at 9600 Dyer and serves a population of approximately 115,000 citizens in a 65.7 square mile area. The NERC staff assignments consist of Criminal Investigations/Tactical Section, Traffic, Crime Prevention, and Patrol. In 2015 the NERC experienced a 2% decrease in crime as compared to 2014. This was due, in part, to the teamwork of all sections resulting in clearance rates of 82% in assault cases, and 73% in aggravated assault cases, two of the most high profile crimes in the northeast area. The Traffic section issued 12,689 citations, along with handling and investigating motor vehicle accidents. Community Services provided 149 presentations and attended 18 neighborhood watch meetings. The unit also participated in 118 multi - agency sweeps which include bar checks with Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission (TABC), abandoned auto sweeps and transient sweeps with Code Compliance, curb stoning operations with Auto Theft Task Force (ATTF), restaurant violation sweeps with the Health Department, and warrant round - ups with the Sheriffs Office and the U.S. Marshalls Office. All patrol shifts participated in crime reduction as well: • Day shift patrol made 633 arrests for the year and also assisted with giving turkeys to needy families during the Thanksgiving Season. • Evening shift patrol over 1000 arrests and assisted with a successful search and rescue of stranded mountain climbers in the Trans Mountain area. • Graveyard shift had a total of 1,659 arrests while removing 7 firearms from offenders. They also conducted 50 felony drug arrests. All three shifts combined, netted a total of 3,292 arrests, several being felony drug arrests, removed firearms from violent offenders, and responded to over 65,000 calls for service.

The NERCC credits its success in reducing crime through its positive partnership with the community and proactive crime reduction efforts.
