BACKGROUND
On July 19, 1983, (M&C G-5692), a Juvenile Gang Unit was created to help combat
.the gang problem that was developing in Fort Worth. This unit consists of three
officers and one sergeant.
On January 10, 1984 (P1&C G-5874) the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce donated a sum
of $2,755.00 to be used for information operations and preventative methods
relating to miscellaneious gang activities.
Rn increase in violent yang crimes has surfaced not only on the North Side but on
the South Side as well. The objective of the Gany Unit is to reduce the number
of violent crimes committed by youth yangs. However, being a very small unit the
majority of the unit's work is gathering needed intelligence for assistance in
solving crimes committed by youth gangs.
The purchase of camera equipment would greatly increase the effectiveness of
collecting and preserviny intelliyence inf ormation. At this time the Gang Unit
depends on borrowed equipment to conduct undercover surveillance operations.
This has caused problems because the equipment is not always available when
needed or is inadequate for specific yang-related surveillance operations.
FINANCING
Transfer $2,755.00 from the Special Gift Fund 88, Project Youth Gang 035007-00 to
the General Fund O1, Police Department. A supplemental appropriation will be
necessary in the General Fund O1, Police Department Account 35-42-00 t o fund this
operation. This will result in an increase in appropriations and an increase in
estimated receipts in the General Fund. The expenditure will be made from Index
Code 267286.
