Swearingin is one of two internal candidates for the job. She’s worked in the Fort Worth Police Department since 1995 and is one of three assistant chiefs to Kraus.
She wrote in her cover letter that she would like to continue Kraus’ efforts to strengthen relationships with the community.
“I believe we can enhance public trust; I believe we can continue to be more transparent and accountable, she wrote, adding that she would also like to grow community policing efforts.
A Plan for Violent Crime
The very first question addressed during the forum asked candidates what their plan would be to reduce the increase in violent crime and homicides seen in the city of Fort Worth in the past year. Here s a portion of their responses: During a community forum Thursday night, final candidates for Fort Worth Police Chief – Houston Assistant Police Chief Wendy Baimbridge, Austin Assistant Police Chief Troy Gay and Las Vegas Municipal Police Assistant Sheriff Christopher Jones – were asked how they would tackle violent crime problems. If you re talking about crime, you have to work on that intelligence on what s going on within those gangs. Who are the shotcallers in the robbery groups? And that takes more than just looking at data. Get with the DA s office. Get with the feds, said Wendy Baimbridge, assistant chief of Houston Police.

COVID-19 is forcing organizers of the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, scheduled for Feb. 11-28, to go small.
Overall attendance will be held to about 120,000, according to Cody Davenport, the event’s executive director and CEO. That would be less than 10 percent of last year’s turnout of 1.5 million.
