Fort Worth Police Department Strategic Plan
CCPD funds can be expended on personnel costs (including benefits), travel, supplies, equipment, contracts/consultants and indirect costs as laid out in each awarded agency’s budget summary. Indirect costs cannot exceed 10 percent of the funds requested in the total program budget. Awarded agencies must submit reports to FWPD staff that outline expenditures, program activities and performance measures prior to reimbursement. The annual funding allocation for the community-based programs is set by the CCPD Board of Directors.
FW@6 (Late Night) The FW@6 (Late Night) Program began in 1992 as a response to the increase in gang-involved youth, providing support for afternoon and evening activities. Programs include afterschool and youth sports as well as extended hours for older youth and young adults. The program provides a safe haven for at-risk youth living in high crime areas. These programs decrease youth participation in crime and gangs through enrichment
and recreational activities. They are designed to reduce crime, stimulate self-determination, and increase community pride. The programs are operated at the following five community centers: Como, Martin Luther King, Northside, Sycamore, and Worth Heights. The FW@6 Program focuses on the following five goals, which provide alternatives to youth involvement in crime: Education/Personal Development, Employment Readiness, Recreation, Life Skills and Community Responsibility.
Explorer Program The Explorer Program is an educational and experience-based program designed to help young people develop into mature, caring and responsible adults. The Explorer Program focuses on character development and career education. Learning for Life programs help youth develop social and life
skills, assist
in character and career development, and help youth formulate positive personal values. It prepares youth to make ethical decisions that will help them achieve their full potential. It builds an avenue for public/private partnerships that provides a means to support the department’s Explorer Program Training
