is to provide a freeway system patrolled by trained first responders with the ability to develop and deploy strategies designed to mitigate traffic congestion and to assist stranded motorists in a safe and time-efficient manner.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #990000;\"><strong>The number to call for dispatch is <a href=\"tel:2143204444\">214.320.4444<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<p>The courtesy patrol also works closely with local fire departments and law enforcement agencies to assist with traffic control, motor vehicle fires, or crash investigations and to clear incidents from the freeway as safely and quickly as possible. Our assistance enables fire and police departments to focus on extinguishing fires or conducting accident investigations.<\/p>\n<p>The Texas Department of Transportation and the Dallas County Sheriff\u2019s Office have entered into an inter-local cooperation agreement for this mobility assistance program. The concern is motorists stranded on the freeway. Research has shown that the quicker a stalled vehicle is removed from the freeway system, the less likely an accident will occur, either directly or indirectly. The presence of a stalled vehicle in a high-speed freeway traffic lane is a dangerous traffic hazard, not only to the occupants of the stalled vehicle but also to those vehicles approaching.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fa-etvc-saasfaprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com\/hcmUI\/CandidateExperience\/en\/sites\/CX_1001\/requisitions?lastSelectedFacet=AttributeChar3&amp;mode=location&amp;selectedFlexFieldsFacets=%22AttributeChar3%7CSheriff%27s%22\"><strong>To apply for Courtesy Patrol, click here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-780","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dallascounty.org\/departments\/sheriff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dallascounty.org\/departments\/sheriff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dallascounty.org\/departments\/sheriff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dallascounty.org\/departments\/sheriff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dallascounty.org\/departments\/sheriff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=780"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.dallascounty.org\/departments\/sheriff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/780\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4536,"href":"https:\/\/www.dallascounty.org\/departments\/sheriff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/780\/revisions\/4536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dallascounty.org\/departments\/sheriff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
