Fort Worth Police Department Strategic Plan
Jail Operations Maintain Minimum Six Sergeants. Jail Operations should have a minimum staffing level of six sergeants at all times. Six sergeants is the absolute minimum needed to ensure 24/7 coverage based on the operation’s current four-day/ten-hour shift In addition, sergeants typically have more accrued leave than patrol officers and consequently are less available for duties. Establish Real Time Crime Center. The department should consider the establishment of a Real Time Crime Center (RTCC), which would provide a centralized technology-based information center for the agency. The RTCC would have 24/7 capability and be staffed with civilian analysts to provide officers and detectives across the department with instant information. Better Utilize the Records Management System (RMS). The FWPD should better utilize their RMS case management system to capture solvability factors and investigative efforts, including hours worked and consistent case notes. Utilizing a case management system with investigative time notations allows the department to more accurately identify resource needs and allocation. Rotate Narcotics Teams and Task Force Assignments. The FWPD should consider a review of duty assignments particularly among task force and tactical narcotics teams to ensure that periodic rotations are occurring. Proactive corruption prevention measures such as rotation of duty assignments in areas of vulnerability should be part of any agency’s prevention strategy. Warrant Access to Patrol/Specialized Units. The FWPD should devise a process allowing patrol and other specialized unit officer’s access to FWPD warrants for potential warrant service. But, this service needs to be coordinated and communicated with the Fugitive Unit to ensure there is no duplication of effort, lack of documentation regarding attempted warrant service, or necessary background information required for the service.
