Fort Worth (Tarrant County) — Fort Worth Police’s newest station in south Fort Worth, located at 3501 W. Risinger Road, held a grand opening and dedication ceremony July 29.
The new facility replaces two outdated facilities at 3128 W. Bolt St. and 7650 McCart Ave.
- The facility increases FWPD’s operational ability to serve the growing South Division community by enhancing facility efficiencies.
- Personnel housed at the new facility include South Division Patrol Officers, Neighborhood Police Officers, Detectives, Code Blue, Bike Unit and Division Administration.
- The facility opened to the public April 1.
The big picture: The $20 million project was approved for funding in the 2018 Bond Program with additional funds provided by the Crime Control & Prevention District. The building’s design incorporates a welcoming entry plaza and lobby, a prominent community room, roll call room and office space.
Monday’s event will also include the dedication of Gordon Huether’s Vision. The artwork seeks to evoke ideas of clarity, transparency, awareness and reflection that are essential to effective police enforcement today. The mirrored-finished stainless steel sphere is a timeless representation of the entire Fort Worth community and the people who serve it.
