Executive Summary
BAYTOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT
Crime Control and Prevention District Report
October 8, 2024
BAI'TOWN
S
The Baytown Police Department receives funds budgeted for certain uses from the Crime
Control and Prevention District.
The information contained in this report reflects fund usage for FY 24, ending September
30,2024.
0x/Prx/iP1A/
The Baytown Police Department uses CCPD funds to enhance services in crime control and
prevention. Patrol (and Street Crimes Units) are enhanced primarily through the purchase of
(capital items) fully equipped patrol vehicles that are properly equipped to ensure that
uniformed officers are available for patrol 24 hours a day, year-round to engage in crime
control duties and projects such as focused criminal patrols. Other enhanced data/information
system programs are also supported by these funds.
Street Crimes Unit
This program:
• Conducted 1937 traffic stops
• Issued 1075 citations
• Conducted 398 total arrests
• Accounted for 256 felony charges
• Accounted for 106 misdemeanor charges
• Accounted for 444 Class "C" Arrests
Flock LPR Cameras
Updates from April to date:
(Data pulled from BPD Flock Transparency Portal and Internal Review)
• 72 cameras are in service
• In the last 30 days (date is only held for 30 days unless transferred to the evidence retention
software as a part of a criminal investigation):
o 500,874 unique plate reads
o 689 searches
o 3,349 Hot List hits which included:
■ 41 missing persons/missing children alerts
■ 324 stolen vehicles or stolen license plate alerts
■ 88 protective order or interest alerts
■ 230 specialized investigative alerts such as vehicles involved in felony offenses
• LPR data continues to assist in missing persons, murder investigations, and other felony cases.
Other Equipment
Since the last presentation the only update on other equipment is that the 180 Degree Fire
Arms Training System for Use of Force and De-escalation Situations has been delivered and
installed. Instructors are trained on its use and it will be used for this training program in the
near future.
Marked Vehicles
During the April and May time frame, this program:
• 22 Marked Units have been ordered and we are awaiting delivery dates
Bomb Squad
This program:
• Responded for 27 activations
SWAT
This program:
• Responded for 16 activations
HNT
This program:
• Responded for 13 deployments
(Events ranged from activation for fugitive arrests, to supporting SWAT operations, and a
suicidal subject who was convinced to accept help obtaining psychiatric services)
The graph below shows the effect of proactive measures on crimes of violence, stolen vehicles,
and other public safety concerns for the period comparing Calendar Year 2023 (January -
September) and Calendar Year 2024 during the same time period, as well as the monthly
percentage change for April through May of 2024 from the same time period last year. This data
is an overall snapshot of crime and public safety in our city. The numbers continue to trend in
the right direction.

a direct impact on this data.
FY 24 Month to Month Comparison of
Violent Crime Rates
Overall, we were below our violent crime average since 2022 (97 violent crimes per
month) with a total of 89. That's progress, but still short of safer than half for Harris
County. We were very close in November of 2023, with a total of 67 violent crimes.

The FLOCK LPR Camera Program
continues to be a valuable tool in
developing investigative leads and
sharing information for a variety of
criminal activities, from fleeing and
alluding to stolen vehicles, and
murder investigations.
While we continue to note a
correlation between the investigative
tool and reduced monthly crimes, it
should be noted that this equipment
is only one factor that enhances
proactive patrols, community
engagement and information sharing,
professional investigations, and other
aspects of professional police
services.
Factors Impacting Violent Crime
* Another factor in the overall department impact on crime is proactive police services, often aided
by CCPD funded programs. The number of traffic stops and seizures of methamphetamine were
found to have direct impact on violent crime. (The red dot indicates the month of September, 2024.)
