Project Safe Neighborhoods Expands in Southeast Fort Worth

0:00Federal agents and local police just launched a major push against drugs, gangs, and guns in South East for worth. On Tuesday, US Attorney Ryan Raebold expanded project safe neighborhoods to hit hard in areas like Polly, Southside, Stop6, and Rosedale Park. The FBI, DEA, and others are teaming up to flood these spots with enforcement. These neighborhoods face non-stop illegal gun sales, drug deals, and deadly violence, turning safe streets into danger zones after dark. Right near Polytechnic High School, families deal with threats that hit too close to home, especially in these older, close-knit communities. Residents in these working-class areas just want peace for their kids, playing in parks by day. Officials point to crime stats showing how bad it is, with lives lost and businesses suffering from the chaos. Raebold made it clear, the goal is to yank violent offenders off the streets and hold them accountable. This builds on project safe neighborhoods already running in two Dallas spots, using data to pick the worst hit zones.
