Newsletter Published by: Rosalinda Mendoza, B. A, CCPS / Crime Prevention Specialist , Fort Worth Police Department North Division 4651 N. Main Street / FW TX 76106 (817) 392-3537 (682) 225-0517 / rosalinda.mendoza@fortworthtexas.gov To the Citizens of Fort Worth: Today, more than 700 volunteers give of their own time and energy to watch over and help protect our neighborhoods. These volunteers are known as the Citizens on Patrol, and they’re part of a program made possible by funding through the Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD). The CCPD is funded with a half-cent sales tax, and brings more than $50 million a year, which is used to help prevent and fight crime in our city. Our CCPD has played a part in making Fort Worth one of the nation’s safest large cities. Despite our city’s growth, Fort Worth’s crime rate has dropped 40 percent since the CCPD was established by voters in 1995. The CCPD funds programs that focus on crime prevention, enhanced enforcement, community education and empowerment, and officer and staff recruitment and training. Our CCPD also assists in equipping and training our police department with the latest tools, equipment and technology advancements necessary for regular operations. The district supports a number of community and youth programs, funds staff positions and has partnerships with multiple independent school districts and non-profit organizations. In this booklet, you’ll find detailed information about CCPD programs and funding. I hope that you’ll exercise your right to vote on May 10. If you have any questions about CCPD, please call the CCPD hotline at 817-392-4040 or visit the website at www.fortworthpd.com/ccpd.
