MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF
I am pleased to introduce the Fort Worth Police Department ’ s FY2023 - FY2027 Strategic Plan. This new five - year plan builds upon the many successes of our previous strategic plans and includes new priorities developed by a diverse Strategic Plan Advisory Committee. The plan is an internal operational document and identifies the important priorities, objectives, and actions that the department will proactively work on and implement during the next five years. The plan includes 21 objectives and 103 action items. Law enforcement and society are changing rapidly, and a police strategic plan must be both strategic and fluid, so we can quickly respond to changing environments, emerging trends, and community needs. The tremendous work of the Strategic Plan Advisory Committee is showcased in this plan. The committee created the following five strategic priorities that are the foundation of the plan. Provide the optimum level of well - trained and prepared employees to achieve objectives and meet the needs of a growing community. Create a culture in the department where all people are empowered, healthy, and resilient. Be a model for excellence in internal and external communication. Continue to develop meaningful strategies that result in crime reduction. Continue to implement the best practices of community policing that enhance the safety of both officers and the public. I want to personally thank each member of the Strategic Plan Advisory Committee for their willingness to dedicate time and provide their perspective on what the department should focus on in the next five years. We look forward to beginning the implementation phase of the plan. A report will be provided annually to show implementation progress. Safety, Wellness, Resiliency Everything we do as a department, including this plan, incorporates three important pillars: safety, wellness, and resiliency. The interconnection of these three pillars help guide the department in making Fort Worth the nation ’ s safest major city.
