Highland Village PD reports 2,466 traffic stops in 2025; council receives racial-profiling compliance report
Summary
Police staff reported 2,466 traffic stops in 2025 and summarized required data on stop reasons, searches and outcomes; council voted to receive the statutorily required racial-profiling report under the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.
The Highland Village Police Department presented its 2025 racial-profiling compliance report required under state law. Staff described the data collection process and summarized stops, searches and outcomes.
Lieutenant Goh told council: "For 2025, we did a total of 2,466 traffic stops in the city of Highland Village." He explained that 62% of those stops occurred on state highways (FM 407 and FM 2499), that officers reported whether race was known prior to the stop, and that searches (45 total) were categorized by consent, incident to arrest, probable cause, and inventory. Contraband was reported in 28 of the 45 searches; drugs were the most common contraband category.
The report broke results down by reason for stops (moving violations, equipment and vehicle-code issues, preexisting knowledge and law violations) and by outcomes (citations, warnings and arrests). Staff noted that vehicle and body-worn cameras capture stops per policy and that the data are drawn from the department's BRAZOS ticketing software.
Council moved to receive the report; the motion carried unanimously.
What comes next: the department will continue to collect and retain data under state law and will provide comparative slides and multi-year statistics in future updates if requested by council.
