Stafford police present TPCA recognition reports showing fewer pursuits but more injuries
Summary
Captain Nathan Khan presented three reports under the Texas Police Chiefs Association recognition program showing a 23-incident drop in use-of-force events, a fall in vehicle pursuits from 12 to 8, and an increase in accidents and personal injuries compared with the prior year.
Captain Nathan Khan of the Stafford Police Department presented three analyses to the City Council on Aug. 6 under the Texas Police Chiefs Association (TPCA) recognition program.
Khan said the use-of-force analysis for 02/2024 showed that four control-type categories decreased from the previous year, two categories stayed the same and the overall change represented a decrease of 23 incidents. The vehicle-pursuit analysis showed reported pursuits fell from 12 in 2023 to 8 in 02/2024. The accident-and-injury analysis recorded an increase in yearly accidents from 5 in 2023 to 7 in 02/2024 and an increase in personal injuries from 0 in 2023 to 4 in 02/2024.
"Good evening, mayor and council," Khan said at the start of his presentation. He told the council he was presenting three reports and walked through charts comparing 2023 and 02/2024 statistics. Khan directed attendees to the full PowerPoint via a QR code shown during the meeting.
The presentation was given as part of the voluntary TPCA recognition process, which the city described as a way for law enforcement agencies to demonstrate adherence to 164 Texas law enforcement best practices. Council members did not take formal action on the presentation; it was delivered as informational material.
The council packet and the PowerPoint were referenced during the presentation; Khan said the QR code included the full material for review. No policy changes or motions tied to the data were recorded in the meeting minutes excerpt.
The presentation took place near the start of the council agenda, which included 33 items that evening.
