The City’s search process for the next police chief continues in August with final interviews and a public forum for community members to meet and hear from finalists.

Upcoming candidate forum
To give community members the opportunity to meet the police chief candidates and hear from them on the issues that matter most to Fort Worth, there will be a finalists meet-and-greet and community forum at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 14, at City Hall, 100 Fort Worth Trail.

5:30-6:30 p.m.
Informal meet-and-greet with candidates in lobby
6:30-8 p.m.
Moderated panel forum in Council Chamber
Live streamed on Facebook, YouTube and FWTV
Live Spanish simultaneous interpretation available
Community members are asked to submit their forum questions in advance. The question submission form closed Friday, Aug. 8.

The search for the next person to lead the Fort Worth Police Department and its 1,896 sworn officers and 574 professional staff members kicked off in April with a community survey and feedback gathering from stakeholders about the desired qualities of a chief candidate. From there, Mosaic Public Partners developed a candidate profile and conducted a thorough national search for potential candidates. Mosaic’s search drew in 51 applicants from municipal, state and federal law enforcement agencies from 15 states, including Texas.

The first round of interviews with City leadership took place June 25. Of the 51 applicants, nine were interviewed in the semifinalist round, with four selected to move forward as finalists. On July 22, one of the finalists withdrew.

Three finalist candidates are now under consideration for the position:
Chief Robert A. Alldredge Jr.
Chief Eddie Garcia
Chief Vernon Hale

In accordance with the City’s hiring rules, the city manager is responsible for making the final determination of who will serve as the next police chief. After the public form and final interviews are completed on Aug. 14 and 15, the city manager will identify a top candidate to present an offer to, initiating a background check and onboarding plan.

The Mayor and Council will then be presented with a resolution to appoint the candidate to the position.

Higginbotham Teams Up with Roehr Insurance, Expanding Midwest Presence

Cincinnati Agency Gains Support for Clients and Team, Brings Proven Growth to Texas-Based Partnership

Higginbotham, a broad-based, employee-owned insurance, financial and HR services firm headquartered in Texas, has joined forces with Roehr Insurance, one of the largest property and casualty insurance agencies in Cincinnati, Ohio. The partnership strengthens Higginbotham’s presence in the Midwest and provides Roehr with expanded resources to support both clients and employees.

Higginbotham Chairman and CEO Rusty Reid looks to the future with a platform of strategic growth across key regions like the Midwest. In Roehr, Reid found a partner that shares the Fort Worth-based firm’s dedication to clients, community, and team — and brings a proven record of experienced leadership, multi-state reach, and impressive organic growth.

“From the start, it was clear that Roehr Insurance had built something special,” said Reid. “Their growth speaks to the strength of their leadership, the depth of their relationships, and the loyalty they’ve earned. We’re proud to plant the Higginbotham flag in a city we believe in, with a team that shares our values and exemplifies how to grow, serve, and lead — and we’re excited to help them go even further.”

Under CEO Alvin Roehr, who founded the agency in 2012, Roehr Insurance has grown from a four-person startup into one of the largest locally owned and operated agencies in Cincinnati, with 26 employees to date. The firm has licenses and clients in nearly every state.

“We built this firm on relationships — with our clients, our team, and our community — and that’s what’s fueled our growth,” said Roehr. “We’ve never acquired another agency, yet we’ve averaged more than 20% organic growth over the past five years. Every bit of that has come from doing right by the people we serve and earning their trust, year after year.” Continue reading more at thebizpress.com Link: [https://fortworthbusiness.com/business/higginbotham-teams-up-with-roehr-insurance-expanding-midwest-presence/]
