Fort Worth: Code Rangers Seek Volunteers; Training Class Set For October

Press release from the City of Fort Worth:

Sept. 28, 2020

Code Rangers allow code enforcement officers to devote time to more dangerous or complicated neighborhood issues.

Become a Code Ranger in Fort Worth and assist in making a positive difference in the appearance of neighborhoods and increased safety. The Code Ranger volunteer program helps Fort Worth code officers identify and respond to code violations throughout the city.

A training class is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 10 at the Hazel Harvey Peace Center for Neighborhoods, 818 Missouri Ave. There is limited seating to allow for social distancing; masks are required.

After attending an initial four-hour training, Code Rangers work in partnership with code officers to improve neighborhoods. Code Rangers are assigned to a neighborhood where they inspect for common violations. Those violations include overgrown lawns, dilapidated fences, garbage placed out too early, out-of-cycle bulk piles, front yard parking and illegal “bandit” signs.

Code Rangers allow code enforcement officers to devote more time to more dangerous or complicated issues affecting Fort Worth neighborhoods.
