Fort Worth Police Department

If you work for FWPD, here's what brokers know about you

Run a scan on any Fort Worth officer. Same things show up: full name. Current address. Prior addresses back to academy. Spouse, parents, kids' approximate ages. Vehicle. The Tarrant Appraisal District record showing when you bought the house and what you paid.

Spokeo, Whitepages, and TruePeopleSearch do most of the work. Tarrant Appraisal District publishes parcel-level property data online — owner name, mailing address, market value — and the brokers scrape it directly. Cluster patterns of officers in Aledo, Burleson, Crowley, Cleburne, Weatherford, Azle, and out toward Granbury are visible from a zip-code search inside seconds. The west-and-south spread separates FWPD from Dallas PD officers, who concentrate north and east.

What Texas law does for you

Texas Government Code §552.117 lets you elect, in writing, to keep your home address, home phone, emergency contact, and family information out of any record an agency releases under the Public Information Act. §552.1175 covers a longer list of public servants. File per agency.

Tax Code §25.025 is the one most Fort Worth officers miss. File with Tarrant Appraisal District (and any other county where you own property) and your home address is redacted from the appraisal roll, the tax record, and the online property search. Active, retired, and spouses qualify. The Texas Address Confidentiality Program is a separate path for officers in domestic-violence situations.

What still leaks

Three sources stay open for an FWPD officer:

1. Court records. Tarrant County District Clerk publishes detailed civil and criminal dockets online. Civil suits, divorce, traffic — addresses appear unless redacted at filing time.
2. Appraisal data published before §25.025 redaction. Anything online before you filed was already scraped. Re-running broker opt-outs after the redaction is what closes the loop.
3. Out-of-state brokers. Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, and the rest don't honor Texas law. They source from out-of-state aggregators.

Why the family angle matters here

Fort Worth officers spread west and south into smaller suburban and exurban towns where the cluster pattern is visible from a single zip-code search. A spouse's workplace, a kid's school in Aledo ISD or Crowley ISD, a parent's address two streets over — all reachable from a single Spokeo profile in five minutes.

What we do for FWPD members

Continuous sweeping across every people-search site that matters, plus a re-check after any Tarrant Appraisal District update because that's the fastest re-list path in Texas. Re-listings handled — we re-check every two weeks and refile inside 24 hours when you reappear.

If your division or the Fort Worth Police Officers Association wants to offer this as a member benefit, reach out. We work with locals already.
