DISCLAIMER: This report provides a snapshot of the Fort Worth Police Department ’ s National Incident - Based Re- porting System (NIBRS) data that was queried from the Records Management System (RMS) on January 10, 2025. The Department ’ s RMS is updated regularly due to ongoing investigations. Since this is a snapshot, data queried before or after this date could change and may vary from other reports.
Understanding Crime Reporting Fort Worth has utilized the National Incident - Based Reporting 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 reporting 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 Reporting (UCR), the formerly used Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) methodology, please visit https://www.fbi.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 nationwide. 4. The probability of the offense being brought to law enforcement ’ s attention. 5. The likelihood that law enforcement is the best channel for collecting data regarding the offense. 6. The burden placed on law enforcement in collecting data on the offense. 7. The national statistical validity and usefulness of the collected data. 8. The national UCR Program ’ s responsibility to make crime data available not only to law enforcement but to others having a legitimate 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 victim 2) Crimes Against Property = Scores one offense for each distinct operation
(except Motor Vehicle Theft / one offense is counted per stolen vehicle)
3) Crimes Against Society = Scores one offense for each violation
NIBRS Group A includes the following offenses:
• Destruction / Damage / Vandalism of Property
• Homicide Offenses
• Sex Offenses, Forcible
• Drug / Narcotic Offenses
• Sex Offenses, Non - forcible
• Embezzlement
• Robbery
• Extortion / Blackmail
• Assault Offenses
• Fraud Offenses
• Burglary / Breaking and Entering

Crime Prevention Strategies Commanders in each patrol division take preventative steps to address any increase in crime such as aggravated assaults, burglaries and motor vehicle thefts. All patrol divisions have strategic operating funds (SOF) used to address crime in their areas. Commanders work with the Real Time Crime Center, Crime Analysts, and Neighborhood Police Officers to identify emerging trends and hotspot areas. Commanders keep track of previous crime trends and put officers in those locations to prevent crime from occurring. There is constant collaboration with other units within the department including Gang, Narcotics, Vice, Homicide, Robbery, and Family Violence in an effort to reduce and solve crime. Chief Neil Noakes introduced the #FortWorthSafe strategy in 2021 and it continued in 2024. The crime reduction strategy focuses on violent crimes such as homicide, robbery, shootings and aggravated assault. Below are the strategy ’ s Goals and Objectives:
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 conditions in areas experiencing most violent crime. 4. Improve police - community relations and communication.
