In June, a monumental and historical event will occur.  One hundred years ago on June 9, 1912, at approximately 9:00 am, officers of the Fort Worth Police Department pinned on a newly designed badge, the same badge our officers wear today.
 
In keeping with the proud tradition, we would like to present the Centennial Panther Badge.  With the mission of commemorating the badge, recognition and honor goes to the men and women who have proudly worn the badge for the past 100 years and to those who have held the traditions of their service sacred.

 

Fort Worth is located within North Central Texas and has approximately 741,206 residents and 332 square miles. The Fort Worth Police Department has 1,562 sworn personnel and approximately 446 non-sworn personnel.

Fort Worth easily combines its rich western history with a strong commitment to the future generations.

The Fort Worth Police Officers’ Award Foundation, founded in 1981, was established by the business community to support local police and recognize excellence in performance with the ultimate goal being a reduction in crime. Awards were created to recognize efficiency, skill and devotion of police officers as well as to further improve their professional training.  For more information, visit http://www.fwpoliceawards.org/.

 

 

The FWPD is accepting proposals for CCPD-funded community-based programs through June 4.  Visit the Community-Based Program webpage for more information.
