Approve a supplemental appropriation in the amount of $28,050 from the Undes-

BACKGROUND
The City of Fort Worth is experiencing unacceptable increases in the number of
Part I Crimes. As such, the Fort Worth Police Department has developed a Satura-
tion Plan of Enforcement that will target, using crime analysis data, specific
criminal activity areas. As part of this plan, deterrence and apprehension can
occur through high visibility of Patrol operations.
ne high visibility element which contributes to deterrence and apprehension is
se of the Police helicopter. Currently, the helicopter devotes approximately
13 hours per month to Police operations. Using crime analysis data and satura-
ion patrol techniques, the Fort Worth Police Department proposes to expand heli-
opter operations by 30 hours weekly, beginning June 3, 1986. The Saturation
atrol and directed activities will be coordinated through the Crime Analysis
ivision in close cooperation with Radio Patrol operations. The additional
lying time will enable the Police Department to maintain flexibility in relation
o changing crime patterns.
he expanded detail will begin on June 3 and terminate on September 30, 1986
(approximately 17 weeks). This will result in 510 additional flying hours being
harged to the Police. Department at a rate of $55 per hour.
INANCING
supplemental appropriation of $28,050 from the Undesignated Fund balance is
ecessary to fund this program. The Undesignated Fund balance after this trans-
ction will exceed $19,532,945.
