“LT is one of the strongest leaders I have ever worked with. She has an excellent innate ability to motivate people, communicate any message effectively, handle tough situations, advocate for her team and peers, and simply get the job done - all with a calm and poise I admire. As a peer, I have learned so much from LT about leadership, navigating challenges, driving projects forward, advocating and influencing up or down, and being a strong, compassionate leader to my team. LT is always the first one to jump in to help a stalled project, take on a neglected task, or support a team member or colleague. She's extremely smart and intuitive, and has a knack for tactfully and thoughtfully challenging ideas to achieve the best end result, while also building strong relationships and earning trust. Everyone I know loves working with LT and she is an absolute joy to work with. I would recommend LT as a senior leader for any position or company that needs a strong, whip-smart leader and coach that prioritizes action, cuts through red tape, and is a wonderful mentor and colleague.”

NOCUPP’s goal is to be proactive towards crime, not just reactive, and provide much faster response to calls from members for help. NOCUPP adds to and compliments existing Dallas Police Department patrols and neighborhood Crime Watch programs to help make our area of North Oak Cliff one of the safest areas of the city.

NOCUPP’s goal is to be proactive towards crime, not just reactive, and provide much faster response to calls from members for help. NOCUPP adds to and compliments existing Dallas Police Department patrols and neighborhood Crime Watch programs to help make our area of North Oak Cliff one of the safest areas of the city. Since NOCUPP’s 2007 founding, NOCUPP officers have made more than 770 arrests and the officers now patrol the neighborhoods an average of 350 hours per month. This means we have a dedicated officer on duty in our neighborhood almost 60% of the time and we hope to eventually have enough members to support a 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 day continuous patrol.
