Police complaints data (Fort Worth Police Department)

Dear Samuel Sinyangwe:
Due to the shelter-in-place order that went into effect at 11:59 p.m. on March 24, 2020, Fort Worth City Hall is not fully open for business and is only operating on a skeleton crew of essential personnel. Therefore, in accordance with the guidance issued by the Office of the Texas Attorney General (https://u8387795.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=nZGH0ylxadMp5hTpNkeAFnlLDzxVa8rIlcary-2B4-2BARqH34h-2Bw5WMfvCkdq2BJKbNGpB0nStM-2FlVAfsPGmCrhHUfuMjjYk6zCIO886NI1wicabLJDw4a1woKAJH4XtIEhyXfvxzObhrVkoFeimmCQ5ebizd76ngt2klviStAaq1U-2BL2-2FrIhTrxY1Q1-2BStpHWU3eDYdGHU6Kg3uUf2bDtXkw-3D-3Ddiar_2v7XEqgCPpxiysDC1xUTNYSIk09wJrwLSeqw0vZNDb9q-2FezdUHmzGzsGAKaKeXjR-2BJdcpNdHgpRFEfBDpxmicWrNwJ7NIoYBS2N4tv5OXQWK4gVouXesaSw3wvEbxa2svn3f7J2ULjV-2Babyo5ha5KoNJKkCdIHR9G8kW9tBP10bgpaVduVlAgb-2FViw-2FKJ4HJ5612wdI8z58u6xSCvsMEA9dD5txh7YC1Yfu6MYOhmL1pHGB5XqnDmclCA6E0-2BeMYUxlfzTDkpa3ogOl4i0CwCmBqUmba6-2Bz-2F9WI31Gad-2BuIGTjlipQ-2BQm50VHogkh2jWiipkW7LX6jnM1qDJJH9dNZUvQLzCZR0s-2FVK6zVfZk1k4DYzV3UOuMI3GEIsKkoY61cGrSGxDehFMrGl-2Fy-2FyNZQNlrDkpkRG-2BfBrAkFUhsVA-3D) , this is not a “business day” for purposes of Chapter 552 of Texas Government Code, the Public Information Act, and all PIA related processes are currently paused. On the date that the City resumes “business days” under more normal operations, all previously received requests will resume processing and any requests submitted during the skeleton crew day period will be officially noted as being received and begin being processed.
Again, thank you for using the Open Records Center,

Public Information Administrator
