Last year, DART employed 100 transit officers from Inter-Con Security to fill ranks patrolling its stations and trains. However, the change in police staff has coincided with an increase in both Class A offenses and arrests from data released around the same time last year. And while arrests have increased overall, one of the most significant jumps is associated with crimes connected to homelessness, with an increase of around 70% for criminal trespass and emergency detention.
