Fort Worth Police Department Strategic Plan
The Chief will work with an independent research group to imbed their researchers within the police department and conduct a full assessment of the current status and respect of ethnic diversity within the FWPD.
Accomplished:
The department is actively working with Dr. Ebony Hall, Tarleton State University, to provide a departmental diagnostic of respect for ethnic diversity within the FWPD. The audit begins in February 2017 and has an anticipated completion date of June 2017. Research is ongoing and thus far, including sessions where members of the executive staff shared their thoughts and experiences on race and ethnicity within the department. The Chief will set Executive Goals for his administration in 2014. These goals will provide an accountability measure for every executive within his administration. And, to the extent that it is appropriate, these goals should be communicated in written form to the Community and/or the Coalition. The Chief of Police has charged each member of the executive staff with achieving metrics as identified by their unique assignment, for creating an environment of respect and inclusiveness, for developing and leading positive organizational change, promoting community outreach, and for managing subordinate work products. The Chief of Police will work with all three (3) labor associations and develop an “employee labor relations” committee to assist in hearing concerns of disparate treatment relative to formal discipline.

Accomplished:
The Chief will work with all three employee associations to develop relations where constructive effort is applied to addressing any concerns or perceptions of disparate employee discipline. Labor relations meetings are scheduled quarterly.
The Chief will ensure that an effective multicultural program is in place that all officers are required to attend the training.
Accomplished:
This was accomplished through the mandatory procedural justice courses and continues through future training on implicit bias, and racial reconciliation. The training is a three-part program designed to sensitize officers to different cultures and to create a broader worldview, which demands tolerance, but encourages acceptance.
