SUBJECT: POLICE CHIEF SEARCH UPDATE
p 2FYA
1675
The purpose of this report is to provide an update in the recruitment of a City of Fort Worth Police
Chief.
Since the last report on progress, Slavin Management Consultants has continued to spend time
gathering information to create the position profile. In addition to obtaining information from the
Mayor and Council and key community stakeholders, time has been spent over the last two
weeks soliciting specific comments from the public and police department personnel (both Sworn
and Civilian) through social media posts and other avenues. That opportunity closed Friday,
February 20, 2015 and over 250 comments were received that have been forwarded to the
consultants for consideration in the position profile.
The consultants will spend the next two weeks developing the advertising brochure and
advertising strategy connected with the position. Once the advertising brochure and strategy is
complete, the position will be advertised. The first review of applications will take place
approximately four weeks after the first date the position is advertised.
The Mayor and Council will continue to receive regular updates on the status of the recruitment
process for the Police Chief.
