The North Oak Cliff Police Patrol (NOCUPP) is an entirely member-supported non-profit organization that provides private police patrol service in 10 different neighborhoods of North Oak Cliff – including East Kessler Park. Your subscription to NOCUPP will pay for the off-duty Dallas police officers and the leased Dallas police car. All subscription fees collected go to funding the patrols, and your membership helps to ensure the safety of our neighborhoods by increasing the police patrols and giving our officers more time to respond to issues.
NOCUPP's goal is to be proactive toward crime. It adds to and complements 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 being founded in 2007, as of 2021 NOCUPP officers have accomplished the following:
- Provided over 50,000 patrol hours
- Responded to more than 12,300 calls for service from concerned neighbors
- Performed more than 55,000 vacation and construction watches
- Made more than 3,600 traffic stops
- Issued more than 1,300 citations to drivers
- Made more than 770 arrests
NOCUPP was founded in the fall of 2007 as a private police patrol of the Kessler Park Neighborhood. The NOCUPP patrol area has since expanded, and each participating neighborhood association has its own NOCUPP volunteer board member who helps maintain membership rosters and property information sheets, track membership dues, and fulfill requests for NOCUPP yard signs.
