Fort Worth police say they have significantly stepped up patrols and surveillance at this year’s block party. The department says it’s working closely with community leaders and organizations to develop long-term strategies for crime prevention.

A year after a mass shooting at a block party killed three people, Fort Worth police are making sure holiday celebrations in the Como neighborhood remain safe this year. July 4 celebrations are an opportunity for people in the Fort Worth Como neighborhood to come together. ‘Comofest’ falls annually on July 3rd. A lot is going on with live music and all types of food and drink vendors.

"Still to this day, the community of Como, the police department and the community at large still mourns those losses," said Fort Worth Police Officer Jimmy Pollozani. "That doesn’t mean that we’re over-policing. We just want to give reassurance to those that are going to attend this event that law enforcement is going to be out there," Pollozani said.
