Operations

HOPE Created On September 24, the Fort Worth City Council approved a new ordinance to help assist homeless individuals. As part of the new ordinance, the Homeless Outreach Program Enforcement (HOPE) Unit was created. HOPE will provide a more compassionate solution when working with homeless individuals and quality of life com- plaints. The HOPE Unit is part of the Central Patrol Division. The primary goal is to improve the quality of life in Fort Worth and connect homeless individuals to services and housing. The Fort Worth Police Department strives each day to improve and enhance our most important responsibil- ity, protecting the community. The following information provides updates on recent operational improve- ments. We’d like to give a special thank you to Col. David Dodd, US Army Ret. with Point 27, for donating 2700 'Shields of Strength' to the Fort Worth Police Department. We appreciate this gesture and his mission of strengthening and encouraging members of the Armed Forces, First Responders and their families.
