RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

2. Authorize the City Manager to accept, reject, alter or terminate, if awarded, the State Justice

4. Adopt the attached resolution authorizing the Police Department's application for and acceptance in the

assurances required by the Criminal Justice Division of the Governor's Office; and
5. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the

DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth Police Department (Department) is requesting grant funding to update 12 interview
rooms across the Department. In August 2012, an internal assessment was conducted on all interview
rooms within the Department. The assessment was in response to issues that the Tarrant County District
Attorney's Office (DA's Office) had in the quality of audio and visual recorded evidence it received from the
Department. Currently, none of the Department's 26 interview rooms capture the quality of audio and
visual recorded evidence the DA's Office would like to receive. It is common for the DA's Office to only
use the audio recording from the Department's recorded interviews.
A total of 26 interview rooms exist across the Department. The interview rooms are located at Police
Divisional Sectors (North, South, East, West, and Central) and within many different units, including
Homicide, Sexual Assault, Robbery, Crimes Against Children, Traffic Investigations, Youth Division,
Internal Affairs, Major Case, Auto Theft, Fraud, and Gang Units. Current audio and visual equipment
lacks uniformity across the Department, creating a variety of issues regarding audio and visual recorded
evidence.
