Contact my NPO/Beat Officer?

To find out who your NPO is, you can use the City of Fort Worth's "One Address" search. 

Each patrol division has Neighborhood Police Officers (NPOs) who incorporate non-traditional methods of crime prevention aimed at the inclusion of neighborhoods and the community, promoting an open channel of communication between the police department and the community to effectively eliminate or reduce crime.

Foremost in the duties of the Neighborhood Police Officer is the responsibility of promoting the concept of community policing through working in the neighborhoods, housing communities, recreational centers, businesses, and other community entities by providing a direct link between the community and the police. Neighborhood Police Officers work together with the community to identify and resolve problems that have caused or might cause discord between them. Improving police community relations is re-enforced by:

  • Taking every opportunity to talk to and with the public
  • Being visible to the community and neighborhood
  • Taking part in the life of the community by joining civic, church, or private organizations
  • Becoming knowledgeable of services available to individuals and groups
  • Becoming an active volunteer
  • Providing a weekly report, forwarded through their chain of command to the Chief of Police and City Council, detailing the officer’s interaction and communication with community members
