The Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) in Haltom City is a special district that provides additional funding for public safety initiatives through a dedicated ¼ cent sales tax approved by the voters. The CCPD sales tax dedication is expected to generate approximately 2.61 million per year.
- Purpose: The CCPD sales tax funds enhance police services, crime prevention programs, and public safety measures beyond what is allocated from the city's general fund.

- Oversight: The CCPD is governed by a board that includes citizen appointees who oversee budget allocation and program effectiveness.
- Renewal: Like many Texas CCPDs, Haltom City's district requires periodic voter reauthorization every 10 years.
The CCPD is a special district that is dedicated to crime reduction programs that are funded through sales tax money outside of the city's general budget.
