2016 Use of force policy

Hello. You have misaddressed your communication. There is not a "Texas Public Information Act Office" in the City of Fort Worth or within the Fort Worth Police Department. The Fort Worth Police Department is not located at "Room L31, 1000 Throckmorton Street," and that address for City Hall was changed some years ago. Also, the City maintains a central email address for requests made under the Public Information Act - it is publicinformation@fortworthtexas.com<mailto:publicinformation@fortworthtexas.com>. For best, most relevant and expedient service, feel free to use this email address in the future for such matters. As a courtesy, I have copied that address to this email.

Sincerely,

Doug A. Jones, CRM
