Attorney's Office and provides funds for various collaborative initiatives at the local level The Fort Worth
Police Department has been invited to participate in two additional PSN projects. Upon approval of this
M&C staff will execute appropriate contracts.
DFW FAST
In collaboration with the U S Marshal Service the Dallas/Fort Worth Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team
(D/FW FAST) has been formalized as a task force with participating agencies across the metroplex. D/FW
FAST's main objective is to investigate local state and federal fugitive cases in the metropolitan area
consisting of Dallas Tarrant, and surrounding counties. The agreement will commit one full-time officer to
the task force with reimbursement of all eligible overtime expenses not expected to exceed $3 500 The
officer will be taken from existing resources, since it is expected that participation in the task force will
enhance department efficiency by avoiding duplicate investigations across agencies.
Equipment for East Division
Equipment will be purchased for the East Division Crime Response Team (CRT) and for officers assigned
to NPD 6 which includes Fort Worth s Weed and Seed target area. Officers assigned to the (CRT) unit
serve warrants for drugs, weapons and fugitives and are in need of equipment to replace older and
outdated equipment.
