Of those over 7,000, 6,385 of them were white. 538 were Hispanic Latino. 244 were black. 19 were Asian Pacific Islander. And 6 were Alaska Native, American Indian."

After the presentation a councilmember moved to accept the Borger Police Department's 2024 racial‑profiling report as submitted; the motion was seconded and the council approved the acceptance on voice vote.
The presentation in the meeting packet and the chief's summary are the council record in this agenda item; the council did not change department policy in this session.
