DISCLAIMER: This report provides a snapshot of the Fort Worth Police Department’s NaƟonal Incident - Based ReporƟng System (NIBRS) data that was queried from the Records Management System (RMS) on July 14, 2025. The Department’s RMS is updated regularly due to ongoing invesƟgaƟons. Since this is a snapshot, data queried before or aŌer this date could change and may vary from other reports.
Understanding Crime Reporting Fort Worth has uƟlized the NaƟonal Incident - Based ReporƟng System (NIBRS) methodology for crime reports since 2006. NIBRS compiles detailed reports on two types of crime offenses: Group A offenses and Group B offenses. The groupings are based on the amount of reporƟng required for each. Both incidents and arrests are reported for Group A offenses. To learn more about the differences between NIBRS and the Uniform Crime ReporƟng (UCR), the formerly used Uniform Crime ReporƟng (UCR) methodology, please visit hƩps:// www.ĩi.gov/services/cjis/ucr/nibrs. The following criteria is used to determine whether a crime should be designated as a Group A offense: 1. The seriousness or significance of the offense. 2. The frequency or volume of its occurrence. 3. The prevalence of the offense naƟonwide. 4. The probability of the offense being brought to law enforcement’s aƩenƟon. 5. The likelihood that law enforcement is the best channel for collecƟng data regarding the offense. 6. The burden placed on law enforcement in collecƟng data on the offense. 7. The naƟonal staƟsƟcal validity and usefulness of the collected data. 8. The naƟonal UCR Program’s responsibility to make crime data available not only to law enforcement but to others having a legiƟmate interest in it. Group A offenses are categorized into one of three categories: 1) Crimes Against Persons, 2) Crimes Against Property, and 3) Crimes Against Society. 1) Crimes Against Persons = Scores one offense for each vicƟm
2) Crimes Against Property = Scores one offense for each disƟnct operaƟon (except Motor Vehicle TheŌ / one offense is counted per stolen vehicle)
NIBRS Group A includes the following offenses:
· Drug / NarcoƟc Offenses · DestrucƟon / Damage / Vandalism of Property
· Homicide Offenses · Sex Offenses, Forcible · Sex Offenses, Non - forcible · Robbery · Assault Offenses · Burglary / Breaking and Entering · Larceny / TheŌ Offenses · Motor Vehicle TheŌ · Arson · Bribery · CounterfeiƟng / Forgery · Human Trafficking
· Embezzlement · ExtorƟon / Blackmail · Fraud Offenses · Gambling Offenses · Kidnapping / AbducƟon · Pornography / Obscene Material · ProsƟtuƟon Offenses
· Stolen Property Offenses · Weapon Law ViolaƟons
· Animal Cruelty

Crime Prevention Strategies Commanders in each patrol division take preventaƟve steps to address any increase in crime such as aggravated assaults, burglaries and motor vehicle theŌs. All patrol divisions have strategic operaƟng funds (SOF) used to address crime in their areas. Commanders work with the Real Time Crime Center, Crime Ana- lysts, and Neighborhood Police Officers to idenƟfy emerging trends and hotspot areas. Commanders keep track of previous crime trends and put officers in those locaƟons to prevent crime from occurring. There is constant collaboraƟon with other units within the department including Gang, NarcoƟcs, Vice, Homicide, Rob- bery, and Family Violence in an effort to reduce and solve crime. Chief Neil Noakes introduced the #FortWorthSafe strategy in 2021 and it conƟnues in 2025. The crime reduc- Ɵon strategy focuses on violent crimes such as homicide, robbery, shooƟngs and aggravated assault. Below are the strategy’s Goals and ObjecƟves:
1. Decrease overall violent crime in the city by 10% in the next 12 months. 2. Focus on decreasing homicides, aggravated assaults and robberies. 3. Improve neighborhood condiƟons in areas experiencing most violent crime. 4. Improve police - community relaƟons and communicaƟon.

In addiƟon, the Homicide Unit works closely with the Crime Lab as policies have changed allowing for more Ɵmely entry of ballisƟc intelligence into the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearm's (ATF) NaƟonal Integrated BallisƟc InformaƟon Network (NIBIN) to more readily idenƟfy persons who may be involved in violent offenses. The Homicide Unit also conƟnues to work with members of the Gang, NarcoƟcs, and Robbery Units where other criminal acƟvity may elevate to homicide.
