Fort Worth Police have increased their patrols in the Stockyards area, and additional measures may be implemented soon.
Over the past few weeks, police have formed and deployed a new team for the Stockyards, said Officer Jimmy Pollozani.
City council member Carlos Flores, whose district includes the Stockyards, said he's trying to get more resources for a dedicated bike patrol in the area. “We’re just trying to be proactive to ensure their safety, so when they come to Fort Worth, they feel safe," Pollozani said. he Stockyards saw more violent crimes than the W. 7th Entertainment District between March 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024."The increased police presence in the Stockyards and N. Main Street have produced measurable results and positive feedback from visitors and residents. Noise complaints have been reduced, increased enforcement of reckless driving, and reduction in non-street legal mini-bikes & ATVs on public streets," he said.
