FWPD Achieves Accreditation Department Initiatives
On March 10, the Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD) received the award of “ Accredited Law Enforcement Agency ” from the Texas Police Chiefs Association (TPCA) Law Enforcement Accreditation Program. Started in 2006, the accreditation program evaluates a police department ’ s compliance with over 170 Best Practices for Texas Law Enforcement. These best practices were carefully developed by Texas law enforcement profes- sionals to assist agencies in the efficient and effective delivery of service and the protection of individual ’ s rights. These best practices cover all aspects of law enforcement operations including use of force, protection of citizen rights, vehicle pursuits, property and evidence management, and patrol and investigative operations. FWPD was originally accredited by the TPCA Law Enforcement Accreditation Program in February 2018. Police agencies ac- credited by the TPCA must undergo an onsite inspection every fourth year, and this marks the second successful on - site inspection of FWPD.
