About This Dashboard
The Tarrant Youth Safety Dashboard provides a comprehensive view of public safety data relevant to youth in Tarrant County. It consolidates data from multiple government sources into an accessible, interactive format.
Built by AH Datalytics for the Lone Star Justice Alliance (LSJA).
Data Sources
Police Incidents
Fort Worth Open Data — CFW Police Crime Data
NIBRS-coded offense records for the City of Fort Worth since 2017, refreshed weekly. No clearance or disposition field is published, so case status is reported as unknown and the arrestee-age clearance measures are unavailable. Covers Fort Worth city, not all of Tarrant County.
Youth Court Referrals
Texas Juvenile Justice Department — Referral Data
Monthly referral dispositions from a Family Code 58.009 data request, by age, gender, race/ethnicity, offense, and disposition, with the youth's residence ZIP by year. Calendar year is based on disposition date. TJJD suppresses counts under 5; the dashboard counts each suppressed cell as 1.
School Discipline
Texas Education Agency — CAMPUS Discipline Summaries
Annual TEA discipline incident reports for Tarrant County campuses.
Methodology
- Year-to-Date (YTD) comparisons use the same date range from January 1 through the most recent available data date, compared to the same period in the prior year.
- NIBRS hierarchy follows the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System: Crime Against Person/Property/Society, Offense Group, and specific NIBRS code.
- School discipline data comes from TEA CAMPUS discipline summaries, joined with the TEA school directory to filter to Tarrant County campuses.
Data is refreshed daily via automated pipelines. Discrepancies with source systems may occur due to data update timing. All data is publicly available.
