Crockett police present January manpower, say annual racial-profiling report shows no pattern of profiling
Summary
The Crockett Police Department reported January activity—15 officers, 407 calls for service, 25 arrests—and delivered its annual racial-profiling submission covering Jan.–Dec. 2025. Chief told council the state report does not indicate racial profiling and staff said more detailed citation-level breakdowns exist but would take time to compile.
The Crockett Police Department presented its manpower and criminal-activity report for January 2026 and its required annual racial-profiling submission for Jan. 1–Dec. 31, 2025, at the Feb. 17 City Council meeting.
Police Chief (identified in the record as the department chief) told the council the department had 15 officers who worked 2,390 hours in January, responded to 407 calls for service, investigated nine traffic accidents, made 25 arrests and issued 351 traffic citations. The chief also reported 11 alarm calls in January, nine of which were false.
On the annual racial-profiling report, the chief read the counts the department submitted to the state and explained how the state evaluates profiling. “There is no racial profiling going on as as presented by this report,” the chief said. He described the state method as focusing on the rate of traffic stops by race and noted that the summary report the state accepts does not include citation- or search-level race breakdowns. He said detailed, citation-level information is available in the department’s records but would require time to compile into a multi-thousand-page extract for distribution.
Councilmembers pressed the chief for clarity about whether the submitted numbers allow the council to judge profiling. One member asked how the dataset shows who received written warnings, citations or whether use-of-force incidents involved a member of the public or an employee; the chief said those specifics are recorded but not required in the summary filing to the state. He offered to provide follow-up information upon request.
The report and discussion were informational; no formal action on policing policy or new directives was taken during the meeting. The chief invited council members to contact the department for specific follow-up on individual stops, citations or use-of-force incidents.
