Fort Worth Police Department

Fort Worth police are increasing targeted enforcement in high-complaint corridors, but outreach workers and shelter leaders say panhandling is a complicated blend of poverty, addiction, and opportunism.

Leading two of the largest departments in the country taught Fort Worth Police Chief Eddie García that the foundation of recruiting and retaining officers is community support.

A new team will proactively and regularly audit the Fort Worth Police Department to ensure legal, moral and ethical policing standards, Chief Eddie García announced Tuesday.

Local law enforcement leaders warned that if drivers in Tarrant County don't drive safer, they'll be getting a lot more tickets.

Arkell Ross, 20, was arrested Wednesday night and charged with murder, court records show.

Four people died and six others were injured in unrelated shootings and stabbings this weekend, Fort Worth police said.

García was sworn in during a ceremony Sept. 16 at City Hall. He officially starts as chief Sept. 17.

Fort Worth will swear in Eddie García as the city’s 28th police chief next Tuesday, ushering in a new era for the department.

Fort Worth’s newly created Emergency Management & Communications Department is expected to operate on a $20.7 million budget, giving the city’s 911 call-taking team its own department and streamlining the city’s emergency response, officials said.

Sgt. Billy Randolph, who was killed on duty last year, is remembered as a longtime public servant who mentored others.

Eddie García wants to be a police chief who strengthens public trust and builds bridges between law enforcement and communities of color, all while cracking down on crime.

Fort Worth’s next police chief will be Eddie García, who formerly headed up the Dallas Police Department and is currently overseeing Austin public safety.
