Fort Worth Police Department Strategic Plan
2016 Staffing Recommendations Summary FY18 – FY22 Since more than 400 of FWPD sworn staff are eligible to retire over the next few years, the department must plan ahead to ensure adequate coverage and service to the community. The department can avoid retirement and attrition challenges by beginning a process of hiring and training additional officers in excess of anticipated attrition rate. Based on the 2015 and 2016 staffing analyses, between FY18 and FY22, a total of 196 patrol positions (27 positions as outlined in 2015 staffing plan and 169 positions as outlined in the 2016 staffing analysis) will be needed to support calls for service. In addition to the positions answering calls for service, 158 investigative sworn positions and 58 civilian positions are needed in addition to positions already identified in the 2015 staffing analysis to create the Sixth Division. Overall, the Fort Worth Police Department needs an additional 354 sworn positions and 71 civilian positions between FY18 and FY22 for a total of 425.
