Council accepts 2025 racial-profiling reports; police report records 5,973 traffic stops with no complaints
Summary
Snyder accepted 2025 racial-profiling reports for the Fire and Police departments. The Fire Department reported two stops; police reported 5,973 stops with the transcript listing counts by race and no complaints; both reports were approved unanimously.
Council received and accepted the city’s annual racial-profiling reports for 2025 from both the Fire and Police departments.
A Fire Department representative told the council the department recorded two traffic stops in the reporting period and reported no complaints. “We had a whopping 2 stops,” the representative said, and council approved the department’s annual report unanimously.
The Police Department presented more detailed statistics. The report recorded 5,973 traffic stops for 2025 and provided a race breakdown as reported in the transcript: Native/American Indian 30; Asian/Pacific 51; Black 343; White 3,099; Hispanic/Latino 2,450. The presenter said the department received no complaints of racial profiling. Councilors discussed reporting mechanics and the cost of the reporting software, and then approved the police report unanimously.
Councilors asked about staff time and budget for the state reporting system; the presenter explained the department uses an electronic citations system and a reporting tool to extract annual numbers. No follow-up action was taken beyond acceptance of the reports.
