Fort Worth Crime Control and Prevention District Plan
Executive Summary FY2008-2009 (Revised)
Operating Plan & Budget
All components of the plan are divided into four key areas:
I. Violent Crime and Gangs
II. Neighborhood Crime
III. School Safety and Youth
IV. Police Enhancements
All of these strategies are interwoven with each other and also interconnected with
operations funded through the General Revenue Fund and various grant fund sources.
The program descriptions are below.
I. Violent Crime and Gangs
A. Zero Tolerance Teams
Zero Tolerance Teams target any emerging crime trend affecting Part I crimes.
Each team consists of 10 officers, one detective, and a sergeant and is assigned
to each of the Field Operations Divisions.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $5,533,512 60 AP
B. Strategic Operations Fund
The Strategic Operations Fund is used by divisions of the Field Operations
Bureaus and the Special Services Bureau to target particular outbreaks of
criminal activity. Prior to the use of the funds, the supervisor of the unit wanting to
use the overtime funds develops a plan. An assessment is completed once the
operation is ceased.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $765,758 0 AP
C. Expansion of Narcotics Unit
This component was added during the second year of the first Fort Worth Crime
Control and Prevention District. The program included 11 officer positions and
lease cars for the Special Operations Division. It has successfully lowered the
response time to tips and/or complaints from citizens regarding narcotics
problems from several days to one day. In 2008 an additional officer was added
mid-year.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $1,108,617 12 AP
D. Gang Unit
The Gang Graffiti Enforcement program was added to the District during the
second year and consisted of eight police officers assigned to the Special
Operations Division. In FY2003, the Gang Unit was reduced to include 10
officers, one sergeant, and two corporal/detectives to focus on all aspects of
gang crime spanning the General Fund and the CCPD budgets. These positions
were consolidated under the CCPD in FY2003-04. Since that time, the City
Council has restored funding and staffing for the original Gang Unit in the
General Fund to supplement this CCPD Program.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $1,225,637 13 AP
E. Gang Graffiti Abatement
A companion component to the Gang Unit program, this is operated by the Parks
and Community Services Department and targets the removal of all graffiti in the
city. This project operates a paint bank and has contract funds for high-tech
removal of graffiti from complex structures. Six civilian employees are included in
this component.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $397,706 6 AP
F. Crime Prevention Agency Partnership
The CCPD has provided support to the umbrella crime prevention agency for the
City since year 1 of the District. These funds were previously included in the
Crime Response Team program but were separated into a distinct program. The
purpose of the agreement is for the Safe City Commission to provide public
education materials; provide training opportunities for law enforcement, social
service providers, and citizens on crime prevention; and seek grant funding.
Additionally, the organization coordinates Tarrant County Crime Stoppers and
the Safe City initiatives. Funding is also provided for the Crime Stoppers Call
Center. This is an effective system for providing useful, accurate information for
the Crime Stoppers program. This will improve the efficiency of dissemination of
tip information to all 37 municipalities and all 18 school districts in the Tarrant
County. This in-house tip call center will be staffed by paid off-duty public safety
dispatchers and supplemented by volunteer support staff.

Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $250,000 0 AP
G. Homeland Security
This program was created from existing resources during FY2001-2002 in
response to events following September 11, 2001. The program was
consolidated under the District in FY2004. The unit consists of one sergeant, six
officers, two corporal/detectives, an office assistant, and a crime analyst. This
unit is responsible for preparing for and investigating organized crime while
working with Federal, State and other local agencies. In addition, this program
includes a multi-year police facility security plan that began with the Thomas R.
Windham building during FY2004, and will continue in future years until all police
facilities are adequately secured.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $1,359,757 11 AP
H. COMIN' UP Sites
In response to an increase in crime activity, City staff met with the Boys and Girls
Club, including Comin' Up staff, and the Safe City Commission to develop
strategies to provide gang intervention measures to offer alternatives to this
negative and destructive behavior. Two sites are funded by the CCPD with an
additional 8 sites funded by the General Fund. The Comin' Up sites will have a
Program Coordinator, two Outreach Specialists and contracted services and
training.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $383,011 0 AP
I. Stockyards Detail
Through this overtime detail, the department provides a team of six officers and
one sergeant for saturation of the Stockyard area on Saturday nights. The
popularity of the Stockyards as a tourist attraction draws tourist to the clubs,
shops, and eating establishments. Billy Bobs of Texas is a popular attraction due
to its host of world-class entertainment. As a result, the call load on Saturday
night creates staff shortages in other areas of the NPD. The detail concentrates
on the clubs/bars for TABC compliance, public intoxication, burglary of motor
vehicles, assaults, parking issues, and responds to all calls in the Stockyards.
Fiscal Year 2008 —2009: $99,587 0 AP

II. Neighborhood Crime:
A. Neighborhood Patrol Officers (NPOs)
A portion of the department's NPO program has been funded through the District
since 1995. Funding for NPO positions in both the CCPD and General Fund
provide for one NPO per City beat. In addition, two NPO positions are assigned
to high-density areas including Woodhaven and Las Vegas Trail and two
additional positions serve the Stockyards and Texas Wesleyan University. In
FY2008, the District eliminated four Park NPO positions. The FY2009 CCPD
budget includes funding for 54 NPO positions and 10 NPO sergeant positions.
These positions complement the 31 NPO positions funded through the General
Fund.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $5,940,973 64 AP
B. Neighborhood Policing Districts
The Neighborhood Policing District (NPD) concept was initiated in the Weed &
Seed grant and later expanded with a combination of Crime Control and
Prevention District, grant, and general revenue funds. There are currently 10
Neighborhood Policing Districts, with five housed in independent leased facilities,
four located at Field Operations Division headquarters and one sharing a city
building with the Traffic Division. This component includes funds for five leases,
as well as utilities, maintenance, etc. It also provides salaries and benefits for
fourteen clerical support personnel and overtime for patrol officers assigned to
these NPD's.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $2,470,142 14 AP
C. CODE:BLUE
This program provides operating funds for the Citizens on Patrol program,
including gasoline reimbursement, caps, windbreakers, signs, and other
operating costs. In addition, the program funds five part-time positions to
coordinate the CODE:BLUE activities in each of the five Field Operations
Divisions.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $355,270 0 AP

D. Police Storefronts
The police department currently has 20 police storefronts scattered throughout
the city. These are generally small office areas provided to the city at no or low
cost by a landlord and are sometimes utilized by Neighborhood Police Officers
and beat officers to complete paperwork and to assist the public with community
problems. Some CODE:BLUE groups also utilize this space. Funds are included
in this component for utilities, supplies and other operating costs.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $83,972 0 AP
E. Parks Community Policing
This component funds security for citizens utilizing Parks and Community
Services facilities. This includes a mix of off-duty police officers and private
security at selected locations. The project has been highly successful, with
almost no violent acts reported at community facilities in the past year, and an
extremely low amount of crime at parks throughout the city.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $708,483 0 AP
F. Crime Prevention Program
The Fort Worth Police Department developed a request for proposals to
determine whether applicants' minimum qualifications are met for potentially
awarding of CCPD funds including whether proposed projects meet one or more
goals of the Crime District Board. An assessment of any community based
agency who is a first-time recipient of CCPD funds will be made to determine the
agency's ability to properly manage government funds. Contracts will be
executed upon the successful completion of the assessment.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $200,000 0 AP
III. School Safety and Youth
A. School Security Initiative
The Fort Worth Police Department and area school districts have long been
partners in the effort to provide a safe environment for education. Personnel
costs are shared with school districts on a 50/50 basis. A second officer at a
school is to be reimbursed by the requesting district at 100% of cost. The
program currently includes the Fort Worth, Eagle Mountain/Saginaw, Northwest,
Keller, Crowley, and Everman districts, which have eligible schools within the
Crime Control and Prevention District Budget
Fiscal Year 2008-2009
Page S
4/28/2008
Fort Worth city limits. During FY2007 one sergeant position was added to
supervise all of the non-FWISD personnel and to reduce the overall span of
supervisory control, which will be 100% reimbursed by the non-FWISD schools.
In FY2008, two relief officers were added to the program. Salary costs for relief
officers are shared among all participating school districts. One additional relief
officer is included in the FY2009 budget.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $6,043,283 66 AP
B. After School Program
National research has recognized that adolescents are at a higher risk of being a
victim of crime, or committing a criminal act, during the hours of 3:00pm to
6:00pm on a school day than at any other time. The primary response to this
situation has been the creation and/or expansion of a variety of after-school, or
non-school hour programs. A multi-disciplinary task force consisting of city
officials, school district personnel, and related service providers conducted
extensive research on this situation and developed a plan to implement a
coordinated program in schools throughout the city that have documented
juvenile crime problems. A steering committee consisting of several persons on
the original task force oversees this project. This program supplements and does
not supplant existing programs and will include a myriad of activities, including
academics, arts, athletics and other programs designed to be interesting to
young people. School districts participating are Fort Worth, Crowley, White
Settlement, and Keller. FY2005 included a $200,000 increase to the program.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $1,600,000 0 AP
C. Safe Haven
This provides support for Safe Haven Programs operated in the Polytechnic
Martin Safe Haven at 3123 Avenue G and at Kirkpatrick Middle School. This is a
prevention program that provides a safe environment and enrichment activities
for children. This program has been funded since Year 3 when Weed and Seed
grant funding ended. An additional site was added in 2006-2007, funding the
Bethlehem Center to expand hours and double the number of children served at
that site.

IV. Police Department Enhancements
A. Recruit Officer Training
Approximately ten months is required to fully train and outfit a new police officer
to work in the field. Staffing of CCPD specialized programs and turnover can
have a detrimental effect upon the patrol function unless a "pipeline" of
replacement personnel is maintained. The police department conducts
continuous personnel turnover analyses to determine the number of recruit
personnel needed to avoid personnel shortages and to ensure that all Fort Worth
Crime Control and Prevention District components remain fully staffed. For the
latter reason, all costs for personnel training were moved to the District during the
third year of Phase I.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $2,973,825 0 AP
B. Training Staff
Two additional training officers were funded by the CCPD in FY2007 to augment
the training staff. This addition reduced the need to borrow personnel from units
throughout the department to conduct recruit officer training and in-service
training. In recent years, the length of the recruit training has increased, the
volume of recruits trained each year has increased due to the large number of
newly approved positions and the content of the in-service continues to expand.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $209,412 2 AP
C. Recruitment Budget
The inclusion of funds specifically for recruitment materials and travel jmprove
the recruitment process the department's ability to recruit and hire minority
applicants for police officer positions. Through the promotion of diversity in the
department, we will better serve the diverse community needs of citizens by
being reflective of the community we serve. To be progressive and competitive
in its recruitment effort, the department requires adequate funding which will
allow the recruitment staff to attract qualified minority recruitment.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $25,000 0 AP
D. Civil Service Pay Plan
Prior to the implementation of the Fort Worth Crime Control and Prevention
District in 1995, pay levels in the Fort Worth Police Department as compared to
Crime Control and Prevention District Budget
Fiscal Year 2008-2009
Page 7
4/28/2008
other agencies within the area had fallen so low it was becoming difficult to
attract quality recruits and to retain experienced officers. One of the problems
was that step raises ceased after four years of experience, leaving promotions or
cost of living increases the only possibility of a raise. The pay plan extended 5%
scheduled raises every four years, up to 20 years of service. This component
funds the initial cost of implementation of the new pay scales and certain cost-of-
living adjustments approved since 1995.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $5,329,547 0 AP
E. Increased Jail Costs
The Fort Worth Police Department does not operate a local jail and until
December 1, 2001, contracted with the Tarrant County Sheriffs Department for
these services. After that date, a contract with the City of Mansfield went into
effect. The total contract cost under the current agreement will be $3,473,224 in
FY2007 with the General Fund supporting $805,245 of this cost. The decision to
fund increased jail costs in the CCPD was made during Year 3 of the initial
authorization. This plan freezes the contribution of the CCPD at the FY2005 level
with the expectation that the General Fund will budget necessary contractual
increases.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $2,667,979 0 AP
F. Replacement of High Mileage Vehicles
The Police Department formulated a vehicle replacement plan for the original
District that would allow the modernization of the fleet over a five-year period.
This plan was revised in 1998, and is now producing results, with no assigned
beat car having more than 100,000 miles. To maintain this plan it is necessary to
consistently purchase fleet replacement vehicles and move higher mileage cars
to units that have less demanding operational needs. Although funding was
reduced in FY2004 and FY2005 because of fiscal constraints, the FY2009 plan
increases funding by $1.4 million to meet the demands of a growing department
for both marked and unmarked vehicles and to ensure the continuation of the
improvements that have been achieved in the condition of the fleet.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $5,122,600 0 AP

Fiscal Year 2008-2009

G. Special Operations Division Vehicles
The Special Operations Division includes the Narcotics Section and other units
that must utilize "undercover" vehicles. In order to maximize the effectiveness of
the unit, a lease vehicle contract has been established allowing the rotation of
cars when they are "spotted" by drug dealers. Operating costs and maintenance
are also included in this component.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $432,115 0 AP
H. Police Cadets
The Police Cadet program provides funds to hire college students who are
interested in becoming a Fort Worth police officer. They are paid a salary,
provided a uniform, and placed within different divisions of the department.
Accommodations are made for class schedules. This program was suspended in
FY2004 and FY2005 as an expenditure reduction measure but was reinstated in
FY2007, for a total of fifteen positions, recognizing the diversity and recruiting
value cadets have in the department.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $171,892 OAP
I. Special Events Overtime
The growing number of special events within the city began to place a strain on
the police department budget, particularly following the opening of the Texas
Motor Speedway. This component provides funds for officers to conduct outside
security, including traffic control, at all special events. Past events have included
all functions at the Texas Motor Speedway, Bass Hall performances, parades,
etc. It does not include inside security that is paid by the enterprise holding the
event.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $704,158 0 AP
J. Technology Infrastructure
The department leases computers, printers and servers to allow for the periodic
refresh of technology necessary to support the goals of the department. This
program also allows for one time purchases of technology and software solutions
to increase the efficiency of the department. Also included is the District's cost
for overall network and computer infrastructure that is based on the percentage
of total employees drawing on the system.

K. In-Car Video Cameras
The Police Department currently has cameras in more than 240 marked Police
vehicles. These include all Front Line Patrol (Beat) Vehicles, Traffic Division DWI
unit, Commercial Vehicle Enforcement unit, and twelve vehicles assigned to Zero
Tolerance Teams. The number of cameras nearly doubled during FY2004 due to
a State grant that provided 99 additional units. This program will continue
equipping vehicles requiring in-car video cameras increasing from 181 to 249
Front Line Patrol (Beat) Vehicles in FY2008-2009.
The Police Department will begin equipping Digital In-Car Video systems in
FY09. The quantity of the Digital systems will be limited while tests and
evaluations of various models are conducted. This will allow the department to
ensure that the equipment meets the requirements of the Police Department, as
well as the Prosecutors Office, maximizing the ability to prosecute cases using
recorded video evidence.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $95,000 0 AP
L. Mobile Data Computers
Mobile data computers were placed in full operation in December 2000. These
devices were leased until the spring of 2003 when they were purchased to take
advantage of an acceptable useful lifespan of up to five years. During 2005, new
equipment was leased with biannual payments. This program is used to repay
the CCPD Fund Balance for the 2005 lump sum purchase of MDCs in addition to
the purchase of new and replacement units.
Fiscal Year 2008 - 2009: $1,045,500 0 AP
M. Helicopter Lease and Equipment
This program allowed the replacement of a 1985 helicopter in a lease-to-own
arrangement during FY2004. Funding reflects two biannual payments in each
fiscal year. The Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) systems in both helicopters
were replaced in FY2004 and FY2005. The final payment for the FY2004
purchase will be made in FY2009. The FY2009 budget also includes funds for
the projected first payment on a new helicopter designed to replace the Bell
206 BIII purchased in 1995.

N. Tasers
This program allows for the purchase of tasers equipping each officer with a
non-lethal option of force. The expansion of the availability of these weapons
will improve the likelihood that on-scene officers have the ability to subdue a
prisoner who is a danger to himself or others, thus reducing injury to
offenders, police officers, and bystanders. This will reduce the cost of injured
officers and some of the liability exposure in use-of-force situations.

SUBJECT AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS FOR AFTER
SCHOOL PROGRAMS WITH THE CROWLEY AND KELLER INDEPENDENT SCHOOL
DISTRICTS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into supplemental
agreements with the Crowley and Keller Independent School Districts (ISDs) to operate After School
Programs at selected schools.
DISCUSSION:
The Fort Worth Crime Control and Prevention District plan and budget includes $1.4 million for the
provision of After School Programs at elementary or middle schools. Of this amount, $1.1 million is
allocated to the Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD), and $300,000 to the Crowley,
Everman, Keller and White Settlement ISDs for their schools located within the corporate city limits of
Fort Worth.
On October 10, 2000 (M&C C-18286), the City Council authorized entering into agreements with the
other ISDs to operate After School Programs. Annually, this agreement has been extended upon
approval and allocation of funds in the Crime Control and Prevention District budget.
Meetings are conducted prior to the beginning of the school year with school representatives and
service providers. During the meeting held in July 2002, all schools indicated that they would conduct
After School Programs during School Year 2002-2003.
Subsequently, the Everman ISD notified the City that it would not be renewing the contract this year.
Everman's program had been offered at the middle school, and had minimal attendance.
This action results in $50,000 being available for the other ISDs. These additional funds will be
allocated evenly to the Crowley and Keller ISDs in the amount of $25,000 each. All other terms of the
agreements will remain the same.
The schools served by these agreements are located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 4 and 6.

continuation; and
