Safety is a key to continued downtown success. Ensuring safety and the perception of safety is an important function of the District. The Streetscape Team provides additional eyes and ears on the street, expanding the number of people "on watch" throughout Downtown.

The District also supports the Fort Worth Police Department's Mounted and Bike patrols, maintaining high security visibility while ensuring that the Downtown police presence is pedestrian oriented and approachable. PID staff also works with Operation Partnership, a network of private security directors who have formed a Downtown neighborhood watch, further extending the effectiveness of existing security efforts. 



The PID research staff collects and analyzes crime data in an effort to more effectively work with the Fort Worth Police Department.

Mounted Patrol

The Mounted Patrol's veterinary supplies, horse feed, farrier services and tack are supplied by the District.   While many downtown visitors see the Mounted Patrol as good-will ambassadors, the Mounted Patrol provides an effective security presence that can see and be seen for several blocks. The Downtown Mounted Patrol was a District initiative and has been supported by the Downtown property owners since its inception.
