Message from the
Chief I am pleased to present the Fort Worth Police Department 2022 Annual Report. This year we continued our focus on these three pillars: Safety, Wellness, and Resiliency. Everything we do each day as a department incorporates them from engaging with the community to our officers themselves. The interconnection of the three pillars help guide the department in making Fort Worth the nation ’ s safest major city. The pillars also form the foundation of the department ’ s FY2023 - FY2027 Strategic Plan. The process to create the plan began this year with assistance from an advisory committee comprised of community members, department personnel, and other City departments. The plan was completed in 2023 and can be viewed here: FY2023 - FY2027 Strategic Plan. Safety Operate using best practices to ensure protection from danger, risk, injury, and death. Wellness Ability to maintain mental, psychological, physical health and state of readiness. Resiliency Capacity to prepare for, recover from, and adapt to stress and adversity. In 2022, Fort Worth experienced decreases in murders, aggravated assaults, and robberies. These decreases can be attributed to the department ’ s Fort Worth Safe Initiative, which is a data driven strategy to reduce and prevent violent crime. For more information on this initiative see page 5. The department evaluates and analyzes crime trends on a daily basis to provide the highest level of service. This report includes information about how we are continuing our mission to prevent and solve crime and provides details about various initiatives and updates on police
programs that are important to the department and the community. However, this is only part of our story. To see more of what FWPD is doing, visit our website and social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram).
It is an honor to work with the dedicated and professional staff within the Fort Worth Police Department who serve you each day. On behalf of our
officers, professional staff, and volunteers, we look forward to continued partnerships to provide the best possible service to our residents and community.
