The Fort Worth Crime Control and Prevention District board reviewed fiscal year 2026 second-quarter financial and performance updates as well as reports on community partnership initiatives during a May 19 meeting. Staff also presented updates on the school crossing guard program and the Emerging Partners grant process.
Emerging Partners Grant Process
The board considered a $114,750 funding request for My Health My Resources of Tarrant County through the Emerging Partners program. Members also held a public hearing on proposed fiscal 2026 budget amendments, including additional funding for officer safety equipment and nearly $9.5 million for renovations to 200 Texas St.
Rashad Jackson, school pedestrian safety program manager, provided updates on the crossing guard program, youth safety programs and safe routes to school. FWISD has partnered with the North Central Texas Council of Governments for infrastructure and safety audits. So far, five reviews have been completed.
Community Partnerships
Keith Morris, assistant police director, presented details on the Emerging Partners grant process to the board, including support for nonprofit partners and the application process. “I think it’s worthwhile, but understanding where all the layers of funding are is really important, especially if we’re going to embark on a discussion about where our deficits are,” Morris said.
