Bastrop PD reports no profiling complaints

Bastrop police acted on thousands of traffic stops in 2025 with no racial profiling complaints or use-of-force incidents resulting in bodily injury, according to the department’s annual report.

Police Chief Vicky Steffanic presented the report to City Council during its March 10 meeting. The report, required by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, includes all traffic stops that resulted in a citation, warning or arrest.

Bastrop officers made 6,882 contacts last year. Steffanic said race or ethnicity was unknown in almost all of those stops.
