Summary

Captain Alexandro Barrientos presented the department's annual racial-profiling report, reporting 4,224 motor-vehicle contacts in 2025 with the majority identified as Hispanic/Latino; an independent audit by Del Carmen Consulting validated the 2025 submission and the department reported zero use-of-force incidents resulting in bodily injury in the dataset.

Captain Alexandro Barrientos presented the Eagle Pass Police Department's 2025 racial-profiling report to the City Council on March 3, summarizing traffic-stop data required under state law and noting that the department engaged Del Carmen Consulting LLC for an independent audit of prior cycles and to assist with this year's report.

Barrientos said the department documented 4,224 motor-vehicle contacts in 2025, with outcomes dominated by warnings (2,238) and citations (1,985). He reported the race/ethnicity breakdown as 2,876 Hispanic/Latino, 1,301 White, 32 Black, 7 Asian/Pacific Islander and 8 American Indian/Alaska Native. "There were 0 incidents of use of force resulting in bodily injury reported in this data set," Barrientos said.

He told council Del Carmen Consulting's independent review validated that the 2025 submitted data were "valid and reliable" and recommended continued periodic audits and enhanced data elements and analysis for oversight.

Why it matters: The annual report is a state statutory requirement that supports transparency and oversight of traffic-stop practices. An independent validation reduces questions about data completeness and supports compliance with reporting obligations tied to Texas law.

What council heard: Barrientos described remediation of earlier audit findings (citation audits, policy updates) and said staff had implemented corrections; he said work remains to finalize modified 2023 and 2024 reports because they require record-by-record validation.

Next steps: Staff will complete the modified 2023—24 corrections, continue to implement recommended data and policy changes, and schedule periodic independent audits as recommended by the consultant.
