In an update to the city council on Tuesday, Fort Worth Assistant Police Chief Robert Alldredge explained how his department is prioritizing staffing amid an ongoing staffing shortage.
In his presentation to the council, Alldredge said there are 106 patrol vacancies, 53 in the support bureau, and nine vacancies in the finance and personnel bureau.Alldredge said they also have contracts to meet, like staffing school resource officers. “So it’s really kind of challenging for us to stand up here and tell you, ‘I’m going to fill this unit on this date, I’m going to fill another unit on another date,'" Alldredge told city council members during a work session at City Hall on Tuesday."We do our best to share the burden amongst these vacancies across the department and fill our vacancies with the everchanging priorities given to our department," he said.
