CRAIG MILLER, Dallas ISD’s chief policeman, is set to retire at the end of the year to start a business that is similar to Uber called Bubbl. The biggest difference between his company and Uber’s is that his will employ offduty police officers as the drivers. In an interview with the Dallas Morning News, Miller said the aspect of having offduty officers being drivers will provide “instant credibility for being safe and trustworthy.”

MARK CUBAN gave $1 million to the Dallas Police Department in response to the Orlando shooting that claimed 49 lives at a gay night club. In a press release from POLICE CHIEF DAVID BROWN, he said, “These funds will be used primarily to protect the LGBT community. We will earmark and track the expenditure of these funds to ensure its effective use in creating a safe environment.” This includes counterterrorism efforts and boosting police presence in Oak Lawn. Cuban said in the press release, “I’m proud to be able to help the City of Dallas.”
