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.
Sincerely,
Betsy Price Mayor, City of Fort Worth President, Crime Control and Prevention District

Why are we still seeing this...
If we see this
A vehicle is
burglarized in
Texas every
2 minutes
And this …..
And this?
Every day residents experience the frustration, anger, and unnecessary expenses
related to vehicle-related crimes. Only you can prevent these types of crimes from
occurring. Leave nothing inside your vehicle ~ Either LOCK it, TAKE it, or HIDE it.
PLACE ALL VALUABLES IN THE TRUNK OF YOUR
VEHICLE OR INSIDE YOUR RESIDENCE.
