RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1) Adjust the Police Department's authorized strength by adding one lieutenant
~~"position and deleting one officer position by adopting an ordinance
specifying the authorized positions in the Police Department.
2) Transfer $8,650 in program income earned from restitution payments, sales and
auctions, and refunds and recoveries of drug related cash and equipment to
the Gneral Fund O1, and
3) Adopt a supplemental appropriation ordinance in the General Fund O1, Police
Department, Special Services Division, Account No. 35-32-00, thereby
increasing appropriations in index code 274001 and increasing estimated
General Fund receipts by $8,650.
BACKGROUND
In September 1985 the City Council approved the creation of the Street Crimes
Unit as proactive group of thirty individuals to deal primarily with drug related
crimes. They joined with existing staff in the Tactical and Intelligence/
Narcoti cs Units to form the Special Operations Division. The new division has
done an excellent job in responding to the volume and variety of crimes
throughout the City of Fort Worth.
The Police Department has undergone some significant organizational changes since
the Street. Crimes Unit was f ormed. Territorial Command, one of the more
prominent changes introduced in recent months, was fully implemented in January
1987. The reorganization of supervision, manpower, and equipment within the
Patrol Division will encourage a stronger sense of commitment to specific
geographical areas and significantly improve police services.
Another key reorganization will be the tranfer of twenty-seven members of the
Street Crimes Unit int o the Uniform Services Bureau. Their objectives will
broaden from concentrating on drug activities to providing a visible, flexible
and available resource to assist beat officers in attacking a variety of criminal
activities ranging from drugs t o gang violence. The unit wi11 also provide
improved response times to Priority 1 calls throughout the city.

G-7008
The addition of one lieutenant position will furnish the Street Crimes Unit with
a supervisory position to direct the activities of the twenty-four officers and
three sergeants. The lieutenant will also assume command of the Foot Patrol,
K-9, P1ounted Patrol, and Air Support Units. T,he combination of these groups will
create a specialized team under a single command and improve coordination on
large scale projects such as Operation ALERT.
The Civil Service authorized strength will remain at 943 because the department
will reduce the number of authorized officer positions by one and increase the
number of lietenants by the same number. The net increase in cost for salaries
and vehicle expense will be approximately $8,650 during the remainder of fiscal
year ]986-87. Funds to finance the additional cost will come from the program
income generated by the Police Department' s Special Operations Division that i s
currently unbudgeted in the General Fund.
FINANCING
s~ental appropriation in the General Fund O1, Account 35-32-00, Special
Services Division, will be necessary to finance this change increasing the
appropriation in index code 274001 and increasing estimated receipts.
