Fort Worth Police Department Strategic Plan
Reduce NPOs. The FWPD should reduce the number of NPO sergeants and officers in each division to one sergeant and five officers. The five officers would each have approximately three patrol beats. This reduction would allow five sergeants and 60 officers to be redeployed back to the patrol function. By adding patrol staffing, the time available for each officer will be increased as identified previously in this section. Reducing the time patrol officers are committed to calls for service will increase each officer’s availability to conduct problem solving and community policing efforts. In addition, the NPO program should identify clear and reportable outcomes of their efforts, particularly regarding quality of life issues. This could include a reduction in calls for service at particular locations, reductions in crime, and the outcomes of community complaints addressed. Balance Average Time Consumed by Calls for Service. In the short term, the FWPD should seek to balance the calls-for-service (CFS) workload among the five divisions, so that each averages 55% time consumed by calls for service. This would require adding 20 officers to Central and three to North and subtracting three from East, four from West and 16 from South. After these moves, each division should reexamine the days off sequences and officers per shift to better balance the match of officers to the amount of time consumed by calls for service. Add to Traffic Monthly Report. The Traffic Division should issue a monthly report which examines changes in the number and severity of crashes, citations and warnings issued for specific locations and violations, and the number general citations, warnings and violations. A key goal of this strategy should be driver behavioral modification so that traffic crashes are reduced.
