The FWPD’s Vice Unit was created in November 2018. The Vice Unit is devoted to detect, gather information, investi- gate and suppress criminal activities relating to vice operations. The section enforces vice related offenses occurring in bars, clubs, public events, sexually oriented businesses as well as street level prostitution utilizing established investiga- tive and enforcement techniques. The proactive investigations beginning in November 2018 are reflected in the increase of some crimes against society offenses.
