Sixth Patrol Division Facility
Fort Worth added approximately 135,000 people and 39 square miles north of Loop 820 since 2000. Since population and development continue to increase at a rapid pace, the City of Fort Worth sought proposals in 2015 to build a new police patrol division facility in the area. Fort Worth is currently divided into five patrol divisions. The existing North Patrol Division headquarters is located south of Loop 820 with two small po- lice facilities north of Loop 820. The closest patrol division facility to areas north of Loop 820 is located at 4651 N. Main Street, which requires police personnel to travel longer distances to reach assigned patrol are- as. Calls for service response times are highest in the far northern portions of Fort Worth. The City is plan- ning to realign the patrol division boundaries and create a sixth division that the proposed facility would serve. The purpose of the new facility is to improve customer service and enhance community partnerships. Land and a design-build contract is expected to be procured in the spring of 2016. Construction is expected to be completed in fall 2017. This facility project is funded by the Crime Control and Prevention District.
