One of the most interesting things about the Dallas Police Department's blog, DPDBeat.com, is that it provides action-packed photos and videos, which the department posts to crow about big arrests or seek help with unsolved crimes.

The slideshow below collects some of the best DPD has to offer this year as Dallas heads into the heat of the summer, when crime really ratchets up.
