Police Academy Honor Graduates

The Fort Worth Police Officers’ Award Foundation acknowledges dedication, hard work, and outstanding scholarship of the top police academy graduate for each class with a cash award.

The Fort Worth Police Department endeavors to hire the most qualified applicants to become police officers for the City of Fort Worth. Department requirements conform to the standards issued by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Education. In addition, the department may mandate more professional standards not indicated in basic requirements. Every applicant is required to complete several procedures to graduate, including a written test that is used to determine an individual's rank on the eligibility list. The highest ranked candidates will proceed through additional tests including a physical assessment test and an interview with an oral review board.

The foundation wishes each officer success in his or her career as a Fort Worth police officer. The better educated our officers are, the better they are able to serve our great city in making Fort Worth the safest city in the United States.
