From the time the silent alarm was received until two were in custody: 7 minutes. That doesn’t happen when officers sit at IHOP sipping coffee. That doesn’t happen when officers camp out at the station. It happens when officers are where they’re supposed to be, when they’re…

If this trend continues, we’re on track to see a -50% decrease in crashes over the last 10 years. Our officers have wholeheartedly embraced our mission, and go out every day to carry it out. As a Chief, I’m proud. As a criminologist, I’m astonished. As a citizen, I’m thankful.
When compared to the same period last year, motor vehicle crashes in Lake Worth are down 25% (-78). This follows a 13% decrease in 2024. These are remarkable achievements, especially considering that over 400,000 vehicles travel through Lake Worth every day. Our goal is for…

Yet another example of a tenacious @LakeWorthPD Officer chasing excellence and refusing to give up. This is about more than shoes - it’s about the culture at LWPD. #WorthIt
Yesterday afternoon, we received a call from a local retailer regarding a theft that had just occurred. The caller reported that a male suspect had entered the store, stolen two pairs of shoes, and left in a small SUV. Officers quickly responded to the area but were initially…

#LWPDAlert // DRASTIC DROP IN THEFTS Due in large part to our sizable retail district, thefts (shoplifting) are the most common crime committed in Lake Worth. We focus a lot of our proactive efforts on partnering with local businesses to reduce retail crime. Thankfully, those…
Our MDT staff and partners continuously aid in seeking justice for Tarrant County child abuse victims through multiple lanes. Due to their dedication, in 2024, 3,949 years in prison and 13 life sentences were handed out to perpetrators of crimes against our area’s children.
Every one of these percentage points is hard-earned. New tactics, new teammates, new leaders, and a renewed commitment to our mission has put us in a great position halfway through the year. Let’s go!
#LWPDAlert // OVERALL CRIME CONTINUES TO FALL In the first half of 2025, crime decreased 24% in Lake Worth. If that were not enough, we've also seen a near historic 42% decrease in theft (shoplifting). Each one of these percentage points represents 24/7 effort by the men and…
I’ve been in the Frio Canyon since Thursday with family. Being here, watching local news and hearing the stories of those who were lost is heartbreaking - not just for me, but the entire country. When your words can’t help, I’ve found that prayer can. May God be near to those…
