SUBJECT: DEPUTY MARSHAL UNIFORM ISSUANCE AND ALLOWANCE
The City of Fort Worth Municipal Court Marshal Division has an established list of the mandatory
uniform and equipment items that is published and provided to the vendor. The mandatory uniform
and equipment list is reviewed at least annually, as well as on an as needed basis, to address the
changing needs and the demands of various assignments of Deputy Marshals. It cost
approximately $8,943 to outfit a Deputy Marshal initially (Please see below list of issued items).
The items that are initially issued to Deputy Marshals are consistent with the Fort Worth Police
Department when like items are compared. The only mandatory items that the Marshal Division
requires, but does not issue Deputy Marshals, are under garments and footwear. In addition to the
below listed items, the Fort Worth Police Department issues uniform items to new recruits that are
required for the Training Academy only. Training items issued by the Fort Worth Police Department
include, but are not limited to, Academy uniforms, defensive tactics protective equipment, and
running shoes, etc.
To ensure that Deputy Marshals are able to maintain or purchase mandatory and/or non-mandatory
uniform and equipment items, the Marshal Division budgets $325/annually, per Deputy Marshal.
This is available to them via a quartermaster system maintained by the current city vendor. The
Fort Worth Police Departments annual uniform stipend is set via the collective bargaining process
at the current rate of $350/annually.
The Court leadership is continually reviewing the mandatory and approved non-mandatory uniform
lists to ensure that Deputy Marshals are properly outfitted, equipped, and trained to meet the rigors
and demands of providing outstanding service to the citizens of Fort Worth.
