during the 2012 Democratic National Convention to take place September 1, 2012 through September 7,

DISCUSSION:
September 1, 2012 through September 7, 2012, the City of Charlotte, North Carolina, will host the 2012
Democratic National Convention (DNC). The DNC has been declared a National Special Security Event
by the federal government, which means extraordinary security measures will be required. Fort Worth
Police Department (FWPD) personnel will require two days of travel to and from the event. The total event
period will be from August 31, 2012 through September 9, 2012. The FWPD Emergency Preparedness
Incident Command Unit (EPIC) will coordinate the deployment plan for this event.
Over the past several months, the Charlotte - Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) looked at Police
Bike Units across the United States to fill the role of their Civil Disturbance Management Plan for the
Democratic National Convention. The CMPD contacted the Law Enforcement Bicycle Association (LEBA)
and the FWPD Bike Unit was highly recommended by LEBA.
This request from the CMPD is an honor and great opportunity for the FWPD Bike Unit and the EPIC
Units. In 2010 and 2011, the FWPD Bike Unit had several weeks of training in preparation for Super Bowl
XLV. Both units have continued to train and prepare for emergency responses and large planned events.
In addition to assisting the City of Charlotte, FWPD personnel will use this as a training opportunity for
future public events or emergencies that occur in the City of Fort Worth.
Expenses are estimated to be no more than $127,434.16 and the reimbursement will match actual
expenditures. The City will be reimbursed by the City of Charlotte, North Carolina, after the event has
concluded for salaries and overtime payments for officers participating in the event. Travel expenditures

appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the Police Department budget of the General Fund and
