Department Initiatives
COVID-19 Pandemic Outreach and Department Response The Fort Worth Police Department has been working alongside City and public health officials as well as local community organizations to ensure the safety of Fort Worth residents. Keeping our officers safe while working with the community remains a top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Changes within the depart- ment include Tactical Investigations teams staffing the homeless shelter and testing centers, Pandemic Response Team educating residents about the dangers of COVID-19, Communications Division and Data Reporting Unit officers working together to answer an increased number of calls, the H.O.P.E Team providing resources to the homeless and mentally ill populations, and Neighborhood Police Officers continuing to perform their duties with distinction.
