Crime-free Multi-housing Program
The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program is a state-of-the-art crime prevention program designed to reduce crime, drug activity and gang presence on apartment properties.
The program consists of three phases that must be completed under the supervision of the Fort Worth Police Department. Property Managers, Assistant Managers and Leasing Agents can become individually certified after completing training in each phase, and the property becomes certified upon successful completion of all three phases.

The landlord or at least one employee for the complex shall attend a four-hour refresher training annually.
