How to File Complaints against the Fort Worth Police Department

This police department's policy permits them to investigate complaints sent via email. They also accept complaints filed on non-department forms. That means OpenPolice.org can automatically file your report after you put it together.

OpenPolice.org is an independent project developed by Flex Your Rights, a 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit.

The information below includes other ways to submit a formal complaint to the Office of the Police Oversight Monitor.

Office of the Police Oversight Monitor

This is the agency that collects complaints against the Fort Worth Police Department. It's where we recommend that OpenPolice.org users file their formal complaints.

OpenPolice.org can email your complaint to this agency.
PoliceOversight@fortworthtexas.gov

You can submit your complaint through this agency's online complaint form. Include the public link to your OpenPolice.org complaint. And if possible, attach your OpenPolice.org PDF, which we will send you.

If you submit your complaint on paper, we recommend that you staple a copy of your full OpenPolice.org complaint together with the department form.
