Forum in Central Division
Questions
and Answers between the Citizens and
Interim Chief Patricia J. Kneblick
Due to special enforcement details or further research, some
questions may require a follow-up on the answer. Those updates
will be posted with the question as the information becomes
available, so please watch this site for more in depth answers
to the questions. |
Question:
With the budget issues facing the city, how will that impact the
police department?
Answer:
Interim Chief Kneblick’s response: The City recognized
the need for certain departments like police and fire to be exempt
from hiring freezes and allow those entities to continue to hire
officers and communications staff. Some positions are impacted but
not these. The police department did have to make cuts in their
budgets as did other city departments.
Question:
It doesn’t appear that the police department is taking thefts
of metals, like copper seriously. What are you doing about these
offenses?
Answer:
Captain Cordell’s response: We are reorganizing the management
tool we operate under known as CompStat to utilize all Captains
and Department Managers to meet weekly and talk about larger issues
that impact all parts of the city. The first meeting was last Wednesday
(04-16) and the first topic discussed was the impact on metal thefts
and actions that could be taken to prevent these offenses. We are
currently running an undercover operation targeting these offenses.
While I do not want to elaborate on the operation because it is
on-going, I will say we have a follow-up discussion set for tomorrow’s
meeting. We do recognize the impact of these offenses on property
owners and are looking seriously our enforcement and prevention
strategies.
Question:
Does the Fort Worth Police Department have plans to place a storefront
on Riverside?
Answer:
Captain Cordell’s response: No, we have locations on Lancaster
Ave and Evans but not on Riverside.
Question:
There is a man in the Morningside area that supposedly sexually
assaulted a young girl but he is still working at the same business
near the school. Why is he allowed to do that?
Answer:
Captain Cordell’s response: I am not familiar with the particular
details of that case. However, the person is bound by whatever the
terms of their probation/ parole in these cases and those terms
can vary. We will work through our SCRAM Unit to determine what
the provisions are. After the meeting, please get with Lieutenant
Carpenter and myself and we will research the case and get an answer
for you. (After the meeting we did meet and Lieutenant Carpenter
is following up. Deputy Chief Robertson was familiar with the case
and it has not gone to trial yet so no provisions are outlined)
