The City of Fort Worth has kicked off the search for a new Police Chief, announcing the collaboration with Mosaic Public Partners to find a suitable candidate to lead the law enforcement team. With the retirement of Police Chief Neil Noakes on the horizon after over two decades of service, the city is opening the floor to community members, who are invited to share their perspectives on what the key attributes and objectives for the next chief should be. Fort Worth residents and police staff are urged to weigh in via a brief, confidential survey, said to require no more than 10 minutes to complete.
Feedback is sought on the qualities deemed essential for the role by the community. The window for submitting this feedback is set to close on May 16, as outlined in the City of Fort Worth . The process for selecting the next Police Chief will extend over the coming months, including not just the survey but also additional opportunities for engagement with shortlisted candidates.
The City plans to have a new Police Chief in place by August, adhering to Fort Worth's hiring protocols, which designate the City Manager as the final authority on who will hold the position..
