DALLAS – Even though they were strapped financially, the Dallas Police Department searched high and low for a nice venue to hold their Night of Honor awards ceremony, a ceremony which would honor the many officers personally involved in a nationally-publicized tragedy in downtown Dallas on July 7, 2016.
That search ended at the doorsteps of Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
Unbeknownst to interim Dallas chief of police David Pughes, while he was looking for a place to respectfully honor his officers, Cuban was looking for a way to graciously help the officers in some special way.
