Fort Worth city officials and representatives of the police department broke ground Tuesday (Oct. 11) on the department\u2019s new South Patrol Division headquarters at 3501 W. Risinger Road.<\/p>\n
Construction of the 31,000-plus-square-foot facility begins this month and is expected to completed by December 2023. The $20 million project was approved for funding as part of the city\u2019s 2018 bond program with additional funds provided by the Crime Control & Prevention District.<\/p>\n
City Councilman Jared Williams (District 6) said the new headquarters will replace an existing city-owned building on West Bolt Street and a leased facility on McCart Avenue. The facility will house more than 200 law enforcement personnel, Williams said, including South Division patrol officers, neighborhood police officers, detectives, Code Blue community volunteers, the bike unit, and division administration.<\/p>\n
