Howe Police deliver racial-profiling report; council OKs accreditation application
Summary
Chief Sullivan presented the annual racial-profiling report required by law and discussed accreditation steps; the council approved acceptance of the report and later authorized the department to apply for Texas Police Chiefs Association accreditation.
Chief Sullivan presented the department’s annual traffic and pedestrian stop report and described it as the statutorily required method for tracking interactions by ethnicity and activity. He told the council the report had been submitted to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement and that, based on his review, he saw nothing unusual compared with similar agencies.
Sullivan said the report is "an annual report we're required by law to bring to our governing body," and the council voted to receive the report. The council later approved Resolution 2025-0002 to submit an application to the Texas Police Chiefs Association for accreditation; Sullivan and staff described accreditation costs, the role of Texas Municipal League risk pool, and the expected administrative steps.
