One Safe Place Facility
5. Crime Prevention Agency Partnership (Safe City Commission): This program provides the Safe City Commission with resources for crime prevention public education materials and training opportunities for law enforcement, social service providers, and citizens. The program fosters a culture of nonviolence in the region, especially among youth, through the development of effective crime prevention and reduction programs. The Crime Prevention Agency Partnership: Call Center Program improves efficiency of the dissemination of the tip information to all 37 municipalities and all 18 school districts in Tarrant County through the operation of an in-house tip call center.
6. Crimes Against Children Unit (CACU) Partnership with Alliance for Children: The CACU of the Fort Worth Police Department is co-located at the Fort Worth Alliance for Children Center. The advantage to this partnership is that the Fort Worth Police Department and the Alliance for Children can effectively meet the mission of this program, provide a coordinated and team approach to child abuse investigations, by being in close
proximity to other professionals involved in the investigation of crimes against children. These include Child Protective Services, the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office, and Alliance for Children. Since 1992, over 44,000 children have been served by the center. Community Based Program The Crime Control and Prevention District provides financial support to local, registered non-profit agencies for crime prevention or intervention programs to supplement the current crime prevention strategies funded by the CCPD. These programs must address at least one of the following goals: reduce violent crime and gang related activities; support efforts to increase the safety of residents; support efforts to increase the safety of youth; and reduce juvenile crime through crime prevention and intervention programs. Agencies submit proposals to City Purchasing outlining the details of their crime prevention programs, including a project overview, budget details, goals, and performance measures. All proposals are reviewed and scored by a committee. The Evaluation Committee makes recommendations to the CCPD Board, and agencies are awarded funding on a competitive basis based on the amount of funds allocated towards community-based programming each fiscal year; therefore, not all applicants are guaranteed to receive CCPD funding.
