Highlights and Milestones
Objective 4.1: Continue to use intelligence - led policing strategies to prevent, reduce, and solve crime.
• FWPD has partnerships with the FBI, Homeland Security, ATF, the Secret Service, DPS, and the DEA. FWPD has Temporary Field Officers assigned to Homeland Security, the ATF, and the FBI. DPS, FBI, and Homeland Security all have employees that office out of Tactical Command at least on a part - time basis. FWPD actively partners with the DEA in dealing with the fentanyl epidemic.
Objective 4.3: Reduce calls for service response times. •
Research has been conducted to review officer assignments measuring the number of patrol officers compared to response times for priority 1 calls during the last 10 years. The research shows fluctuations in patrol officer numbers, but a continuous increase in call volumes increasing the call per officer volumes.
• Requests were sent to 10 large US police agencies requesting response time data and have received data from three agencies. Online research shows record/response time is defined as the timeframe from when the officer is dispatched to the call until the officer arrives on scene.
• 15 Civilian Response Unit (CRU) positions are currently being filled. The CRU academy began September 25, 2023. Once field training has been completed, CRU will be fully staffed to address additional calls, freeing up patrol to respond to higher priority calls in a timely manner.
