This dashboard houses a wealth of suspension and firings data that shed light on the conduct of officers from San Antonio Police Department (SAPD), Bexar County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) and San Marcos Police Department (SMPD). Not only does this tool serve as a community “watchdog” for officer behavior, but it also aims to hold officers accountable, deter misconduct, and assist in bettering hiring decisions. Furthermore, they help highlight disciplinary gaps in law enforcement contracts and inform training practices across various crucial areas such as de-escalation and mental health. Please note that while we strive to update our databases regularly, some suspensions may not be represented due to limitations in the data we receive.
