Police present 2025 racial-profiling report to El Campo council; no racial-stop complaints recorded
Summary
A police representative presented the mandatory 2025 annual racial-profiling report, reporting the department submitted data to the state and the local report shows no complaints alleging racial bias in traffic stops and that stop demographics mirror the city's population.
A police representative presented the department’s 2025 annual racial-profiling report, required by state law, and told the council the department had submitted its data to the state tax-commission office on law enforcement and to the governing body.
The presenter said they have produced the report for roughly 20 years and that, on review, they did not see any entries that stood out as a concern. The presenter said the majority of stops mirror the city’s demographic makeup and that the department has not received any complaints alleging racial bias in traffic stops.
Council members asked questions and made brief remarks about vehicle outfitting delays and the appearance of new units. The police presenter confirmed the department is waiting for upfitting of two vehicles and that outfitting delays have been a lingering problem since the COVID-19 pandemic.
The council received the report; no formal action or vote on the report was recorded beyond its presentation to the governing body.
