New program puts Fort Worth high school students in pipeline to become future police officers

"Thank you for trusting in us and believing in us," Chief Neil Noakes told the students. "We believe in you. And I see nothing but amazing things coming from this."

Finally a Chief to back the program. Now let’s also push the fire and EMS programs. Home grown is always better.

I am 28 years old and graduated in class of 2014 at South Hills.
I am applying to the FWPD as of today.
I’m excited to help my community and serve the people! God willing I’ll join this awesome department!!

Pds ran out of ex military I see. Only kids with no sense of direction let themselves be recruited by military or now pds.

Thats dope! Be wary of recruiting those who've been bullied. They got beef with the world.

School-to-Prison pipeline is alive and well in Texas, I see.

And please also teach how to not become a criminal.

Hope these kids realize Aaron Dean was on the department 16 months before going to prison for 12yrs. These kids are being set up. A command staff that will leave them high and dry. Ruin their lives bc their views as a number, replaceable, and throwaways.
