Fort Worth's new South Division police station now open

Published on April 03, 2024

The newest Fort Worth Police station in south Fort Worth, located at 3501 W. Risinger Road, became operational on Monday, April 1.

• The facility increases FWPD's operational ability to serve the growing South Division community by enhancing facility efficiencies.
• Personnel housed at the new facility include South Division Patrol Officers, Neighborhood Police Officers, Detectives, Code Blue, Bike Unit and Division Administration.

Why it matters: The new facility replaces two outdated facilities at 3128 W. Bolt St. and 7650 McCart Ave.

• Public access to these facilities ended on March 25, while personnel move to the new location.
• The facility officially opened to the public April 1.

The big picture: The $20 million project was approved for funding in the 2018 Bond Program with additional funds provided by the Crime Control & Prevention District.

• Design incorporates a welcoming entry plaza and lobby, a prominent community room, roll call room and office space.
• Public art is planned to be installed in April.

For emergencies anytime, call 911.

A grand opening for the new facility is planned for later this year.
