Fort Worth Police Department Strategic Plan
Sixth Patrol Division The combination of vast areas covered, response times, and long distances travelled by officers in north Fort Worth, forced FWPD to realign patrol division boundaries, and prompted investment towards staffing, associated equipment, and the construction of a new facility in order to create a Sixth Patrol Division. The Sixth Patrol Division is a significant first step in the right direction, but the FWPD must plan for the growth in west and south Fort Worth as well. In order to serve the growing population and maintain the standards expected by the community, the Police Department must engage in SMART growth and plan for future patrol operations (staffing, facilities, etc.) now. Please see the Staffing Section and the Facility Section for additional details related to patrol division expansion.

Timeline
Establish and maintain positive and trusting community relationships by increasing the number of community forums by six per year. Solicit employee (sworn and civilian) and community input in creative ways to address ongoing crime problems by establishing and facilitating focus groups four times per year with employees and community members. Increase use of technology as it continues to evolve rapidly by including one consistent representative from each Division in Technology Committee meetings to remain informed on available enhancements. Address facility needs for all Patrol Divisions to include new facilities for the Sixth Division, Far West Division, South Division, and a consolidated Central Division. Increase officer and sergeant patrol staffing in Patrol Divisions each year based on call load and vacancies in support of calls for service workload. (See Staffing Section for details.) Add Sixth Patrol Division goals to the Strategic Plan once the new patrol division is created.
