#FortWorth
Safe
Initiative
In 2021, FWPD began #FortWorthSafe, a crime reduction operation focused on violent crimes such as homicide, robbery, shootings, and aggravated assault. The program ran from 5/10/2021 - 9/10/2021. The program started back up again in April 2022 and ran through December 2022. #FortWorthSafe includes an enforcement component as well as a community outreach component, which aims to address deficiencies in communities that may increase the likelihood of violent crime occurring. Some of the enforcement efforts included:
• An intelligence - led approach utilizing all available technology resources
• Continually evaluating crime trends and data each day
• The Gang Unit focused on known gang members and those with prior gun arrests.
• Enhanced enforcement on game rooms in the selected crime locations.
• Criminal Tracking Unit and Fugitive Unit focused on arresting violent offenders
• The Directed Response Units responded to Flock camera activations as well as violent offenses seen on cameras. The Community efforts included: • Neighborhood Police Officers (NPOs) met with business owners and community members, as well as interacting with young people, to make them aware of our effort and #FortWorthSafe.
• School Resource Officers worked alongside NPOs.
• Solicited community input to address concerns with violent crime and transparency.
• To be transparent with our community.
