Fort Worth Crime Control and Prevention District Board Meeting – May 19, 2026

The Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) board met on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at 10:05 AM. The meeting included swearing in a new board member, approval of previous minutes, staff reports on the crossing guard program and the emerging partner grant process, and action on a funding proposal and budget amendments. All votes were unanimous.

Consent Calendar

  • Approval of meeting minutes from February 24, 2026: Motion passed unanimously with no discussion.
  • Written reports (FY26 second quarter performance report and Shared Mission partners quarterly update) were received without questions.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • No public comments were presented.

Discussion Items

  • Crossing Guard Program Update: Rashad Jackson, program manager, presented an overview. The program, now managed by TPW and vendor ACMS, serves 15 school districts including charter schools. Crossing guard pay increased from $15.45 (FY25) to $16.07 in FY26, with a projected $16.71 in FY27. Annual contract values rose from $4.5M to $5.1M, with next year at $5.8M. Community engagement efforts include National Walk and Bike to School Day, career days, and teen driver safety initiatives (Teens in the Driver's Seat and Future Teens in the Driver's Seat). Safe routes to school reviews have been completed at five schools. Board members asked about school closures and guard placement; Jackson said the vendor reassigns guards through attrition and new openings.
  • Emerging Partner Grant Process: Keith explained the multi-step application process for new nonprofits, including eligibility (501c3, serving Fort Worth residents, not funded for same program in last 3 years), use of a grants navigator (8 hours free via United Way), pre-proposal training, concept paper, technical scoring by staff with an expert panel, and quarterly advisory board recommendations. Board members inquired about oversight of grant outcomes (staff reports to advisory board but no formal outcome monitoring), how agencies learn about opportunities (social media and community liaison Phoebe Applin), and assistance for denied applicants (grants navigator outreach and 120-day reapplications). A request was made to receive a list of expert panel members.
  • Consideration of Emerging Partners Funding for MHMR: The board considered a $114,750 grant to MHMR of Tarrant County for substance use treatment. Initial concern was raised because the funding was designated for residential treatment for boys only, while girls lacked a residential option. Councilwoman Beck stated the city had dismantled DEI and that funding must be gender-equitable. Representatives from MHMR noted that state-funded female adolescent residential facilities in Tarrant County are limited, and most girls are referred to private facilities or out-of-county options. After discussion, the board agreed to amend the use of funds to support outpatient services (a licensed chemical dependency counselor) serving both males and females, rather than residential treatment for boys. The motion passed unanimously.
  • Budget Amendments: Two amendments were presented. First, $9.4 million (from $8M fund balance and $1.4M current year savings) to complete renovations at 200 Texas Street (previously presented by PMD). Second, a centralized equipment replacement program within officer safety, moving $141,000 from neighborhood crime prevention to a pooled fund for scheduled replacement of body armor and other safety gear. Board members asked about remaining fund balance and whether the equipment funding covers all officers (confirmed it includes both CCPD-funded and general fund positions). Both amendments passed unanimously.

Key Outcomes

  • Chris Jameson was sworn in as a new CCPD board member.
  • Minutes from February 24 were approved.
  • Crossing guard program update was received; no vote required.
  • Emerging partner grant process was explained; no vote taken.
  • MHMR funding ($114,750) was approved with the stipulation that funds be used for outpatient services serving both males and females, not restricted to male residential treatment.
  • Budget amendments for 200 Texas Street ($9.4M) and equipment replacement centralization were approved unanimously.
  • No public comments were made.
  • Meeting adjourned at 10:52 AM.
