The Fort Worth Park and Recreation Department wants to start a new program that would put off-duty police officers at parks across the city.
Buddy Calzada, Public Information Officer for Fort Worth Police, said the department is considering the request, along with other proposals, for the Crime Control and Prevention District funds.Calzada said Park & Rec is requesting $458,000 for their prevention program, which would tackle park ordinance violations like off-road cars damaging parks, littering, parking control, and vendor violations.
He said the idea first came to them from a group who had concerns about their own park, Tandy Hills. He didn't know it was being proposed as a city-wide program.He thinks the CCPD funds should go toward neighborhood programs, not more police hours., a group of black men first formed after the Civil War, who served during peacetime in different roles, including becoming America's first park rangers.
