Police Reports
- Police Reports must be requested in writing.
- The release of police reports must be approved by a supervisor prior to release.
- If approved, you must pay the $6.00 fee at the time of pick up. Note: Do not pay the fee at the time of request, as your request may not be approved (see below).
After your request is received it will be submitted for approval. The department will notify you within 10 business days regarding whether or not the report can be released.
When are requests denied?
Report requests are denied when the case is pending criminal investigation and court action. We try to honor all report requests; however, sometimes there are extenuating circumstances that prevent us from legally releasing the report.
Racial Profiling Report
Texas Occupations Code 1701.164 specifies that TCOLE collect incident-based data in accordance with the Code of Criminal Procedure Article 2.131 – 2.138 . Chief administrators of law enforcement agencies that meet the criteria must submit racial profiling reports to their governing body, as well as TCOLE.
Each agency must file an online annual report by selecting and completing the reporting option that applies to their particular situation. Reports are filed online through the TCOLE Department Reporting System (DRS) . The reporting period for the previous year begins on January 1 of the current year and ends on March 1 of the current year.
