Fort Worth residents get their first — and only — chance to meet the finalists for their next police chief at a meet-and-greet hosted by the city Aug. 14.

Community members pressed candidates on leadership, immigration, and long-term commitment during Thursday's meet-and-greet.

After a community forum where candidates addressed concerns like gun violence and citizen involvement, three candidates with ties to North Texas are now awaiting a mid-September decision from the Fort Worth city manager to be named the next police chief.
