NPO's continue to work with Code Compliance in correcting issues that face Northwest. These issues and remedies are noted in the weekly report for each NPO in Northwest Division. The Commander of Northwest Division drives the neighborhoods in order to address any quality of life issues. We continue to coordinate all city resources as needed to respond to citizen complaints or quality of life issues that arise. Each NPO walked/drove their respective beats; they contact Code Compliance once a week on homeless camps and the homeless coordinator in order to seek assistance. In addition, they discuss with Code Compliance the areas of blight (tall grass, parking in yard, substandard structures, dumping) within their beat as well communicate with specialized units to assist with problem establishments. Met with Code Compliance on 7 occasions this month to address quality of life issued.

NPO Martinez has had one meeting with the local business owners in the hotel area. NPOs continued the nuisance abatement process.

The crime action committee consists of patrol supervisors, NPO officers, Special Response Team (SRT), Criminal Investigations Unit, Metal Recycling Officers and Property Crimes Officers, Captain and Commander. Each are tasked with monitoring the crime rate/trends within the division and bringing input to the table at the monthly meeting for crime prevention/reduction strategies. We had a division wide supervisors meeting this month.  

NPO's work with area businesses to address these issues including the Salvation Army at 2901 NE 28th St. and Fort Worth Northside Corps at 3023 NW 24th St. and the Recovery Resource Council that is on the border of Northwest Division and Central Division located off Hwy 121. Northwest has identified and established a point of contact with assistance programs and track placements for help at each center. The NPO's collaborated with the above mentioned organizations in addition to the FWPD Homeless coordinator. Our priority when working with homeless individuals is to first educate them on and offer assistance. This month we made contact with approximately 10-15 homeless individuals from two different camps and offered assistance. We still need to follow-up to determine if any took advantage of the assistance offered. 

We have not specifically assigned officers to the economic development committee; however, this will be assigned by the Captain of the Northwest Division. Keep in mind that NPOs, Captain and Commander meet monthly with area businesses/owners to discuss ways of facilitating communication/collaboration to prevent, combat and reduce crime so that area businesses and communities thrive within Northwest Division.  

Detectives and NPO's are rotating  attending roll calls. NPOs disseminate their weekly activity report to the shift Sergeant. During our monthly meetings we have tasked/delegated the authority for NPOs to take ownership of their respective areas and reach out to specialized units and their beat officers. NPOs attend more than one roll call per week. We have a citywide property crimes meeting so we communicate across divisional lines. The specialized units weekly reports are disseminated to all patrol supervisors. We reach out to specialized units on a weekly basis and vice versa. The Criminal Investigations Unit Lieutenant has also attended several roll calls.

The Captain, supervisors and the Commander discuss the new beat integrity model weekly at roll calls at minimum weekly. We are educating the patrol officers on how important their initial contact with citizens is and to continue community engagement and be receptive to their input about crime. In addition, NPOs have been instructed to increase the communication by NPOs and each shift beat officer. Lists of gang members on each beat have disseminated and parolees are also checked. NPOs have been tasked with making contact with gang members on their beats at least once a week. The Captain also takes the opportunity to train officers in officer safety tactics and answers questions at roll calls.

NPOs attend and are actively involved in Police Athletic League (PAL). NPOs recently started reading groups in Northside and Diamond Hill. They also attended STEMS (Science Technology Engineering Math) training so that they can engage the youth at schools and recreation centers after school. STEMS is a training that enables Officers to introduce youth to basic robotics and engineering through electronic games/equipment and computers.
