DISCUSSION:
The Fiscal Year(FY) 2013 Violent Gang and Gun Crime Reduction Program, Project Safe Neighborhoods
(PSN) is a nationwide network designed to create safer neighborhoods by reducing gun violence and gun
crime and sustaining that reduction. Safe City Commission, Inc., is serving as the fiscal agent to
implement this grant program in the Seminary and Poly-Technic areas of Fort Worth. The Police
Department is receiving the amount of$137,861.00 in grant funds from a total program award in the
amount of$500,000.00. The Police Department will utilize the amount of$70,021.00 for officer overtime,
the amount of$2,040.00 for training, the amount of$29,800.00 for surveillance equipment, and the
amount of$36,000.00 for digital social networking software. Fringe benefits associated with the overtime
are not eligible for reimbursement under this grant.
The strategy of this PSN program is to utilize data-driven, intelligence-led enforcement against violent gun
and gang offenders. This multi-agency effort will investigate gun trafficking and gun seizures and specially
address the problem of individuals who have been issued protective orders having access to firearms.
The goal of this program is to also increase cooperation for federal prosecution of gun crimes and targeted
intervention programming for children who witness violence and are susceptible to gang influence and
recruitment.
