Fort Worth Police Department Strategic Plan
Goal 2: Improve external communication. Community Policing requires police transparency in all dealings with the public. Transparency requires effective and timely communications, a task easier said than done. FWPD may face challenges when communicating with external audiences because events often expand at a rapid pace. We are working to publish communications in English and Spanish. The department will look for opportunities to maximize collaboration with the City’s Community Engagement Office.

Provide and informational outreach materials (patrol division newsletters, etc.) to the community in paper form and online to show how the department operates while highlighting the decision-making process. Utilize the department website, YouTube channel, and social media platforms to provide the community information when significant and high profile public safety issues occur in the community in English and Spanish. Utilize all methods of communication annually to improve public perception, address misinformation, provide crime prevention tools, and actively educate and engage with the public in English and Spanish. Create informational videos from the Chief of Police and Executive Staff to inform the public about crime and crime prevention tools in English and Spanish. Establish educational outreach efforts for English and Spanish speaking residents to inform them about crime prevention tools and participation opportunities. quarterly educational
