Forney Police Department

Forney's Police Department in Texas organizes its work around districts under a community policing model: each district has its own sergeant, who partners with residents, apartment managers, neighborhood leaders and HOAs to spot local crime trends, plan targeted responses and carry them out together, and residents can find their district on an interactive map. Through Versaterm CommunityConnect, people who call 911 can opt in to text or email updates telling them when an officer is headed their way, when delays occur, when a report has been received and who is investigating, and some crime victims are connected to resources; a public dashboard shows satisfaction ratings from follow-up surveys. A Citizens Police Academy gives residents hands-on lessons in recruitment, training, narcotics, firearms and crime scene analysis and introduces the patrol, criminal investigation and traffic divisions. Graduates can join Volunteers in Police Service, which places volunteers across the Operations and Support Services bureaus after a written application, an interview and a background investigation. The department also runs a Take Me Home program and a Bee-Happy Day program, keeps a police canine, publishes safety tips and handles crash reports, commendations, complaints and records requests.

Public contact information is available for Forney Police Department, including 1 listed contact that officers can use for training coordination or general inquiries when provided by the department.
