- Community programs are in line to receive more funding and a larger role in addressing crime when Fort Worth leaders have a public hearing and vote Tuesday on the $117 million Crime Control and Prevention District budget.
The beneficiaries of the move to a long term strategy of addressing crime includes organizations like Operation Progress Fort Worth. Established in 2020 as an expansion out of a similar program in Los Angeles, OPFW currently works with 15 children in the Como neighborhood. It gives them academic assistance, learning opportunities outside the classroom, and a lifetime mentor who is also a law enforcement officer, but connects with the student and their family in a non-enforcement way.
Funding of $100,000 a year will help the program potentially expand to 30 students, and plan for work in additional neighborhoods.
