EARLY MEMBERS OF THE FORT WORTH POLICE DEPARTMENT

As with most people today, our ancestors did not see any of their actions or lives to be of historical importance, why would they this was normal life. But that is far from the truth for everything we do or say throughout our life has historical value to someone, descendants, politics, laws and especially historians. The Fort Worth Police Department is no different, many records and photographs have been destroyed because they no longer seemed important. It wasn’t until 2004 that the Department even considered a historical value to the things it generates and stores, thus the reason for the Historical Committee and Association. But people are important and we should remember them whether in a good or bad light. Throughout the history of our department there has been a need for officers to be easily identifiable whether the cause was good or bad. In early years the normal means of identification was a number placed on their badge of office. Each badge issued to by the department would usually have a single or double digit number on the face. When the officer left the department, the badge was returned and reissued to a new officer. This sometimes caused problems in future identification of officers, especially those above the rank of officer whose badge held their rank rather than a number. It was not until 1951 when R.R. Howerton was appointed Chief that a permanent identification system was established that would be of historical value. Howerton numbered each officer in the department with a unique number, regardless of rank, we know as an ID. If an officer leaves the department for whatever reason, the number is no longer used, retired per se. This became a blessing for Department historians for now an officer could easily be remember throughout the years; however it more difficult with the early officers for two reasons: One their was no identification numbering system except during their employment and secondly because officers moved in an out of the department many times on the whims of the city leaders. A quest to recover these individual’s names is in the works but it’s a slow and tedious process. The following lists, by year, are compiled from rosters on file at the FW Public Library, various newspaper articles, folders, and other information and sources. None of the years listed on this roster are considered to be 100% accurate or complete since most of the original records of the department are no longer in existence. This will be an ever changing roster as research on the early department history continues. Some of the lists are verbatim from the records found at the Fort Worth Public Library in the Local History/Genealogy Section. This working roster is continually updated by Sgt. Kevin Foster and retired Sgt. Dale Hinz. We hope you will enjoy the results and find them of value.

FWPD BOND RECORDS / OATH OF OFFICE RECORDS

Up until the mid 1920’s, the City of Fort Worth required a number of positions in the city to be bonded by outside bonding agencies. This included all employees of the Fort Worth Police Department as well as “Special Officers”. Police bonds were generally issued every two years. This compilation of records was developed from original receipts, bond records, and oaths currently on file at the Fort Worth Public Library in the Local History and Genealogy Section. Many records were lost due to water damage and other causes. These records indicate names and positions for the years listed. When there was a change in position or rank, another entry with the applicable years was listed. If there is a question as to spelling, the questionable spelling is also indicated on this record.
