Police Reports and Police Records Available to The Public
We have started to obtain police reports and records from police departments across the state of Texas, under the state’s Texas Public Information Act. Records of police misconduct that are filed away, rarely seen by anyone outside their police departments..
We are collecting and publishing police complaints, internal affairs records and disciplinary records of police officers. We also have obtained memos, cell phone text messages, videos and even emails.
What you’ll find on our website are details about accusations of misconduct against police officers and how those cases were resolved by the agencies for which they work. You’ll be seeing a rare sight; it is a remarkably unusual occurrence for members of the public to view these records.
We’re also keeping track of roaming cops. A roaming cop is a peace officer who is about to get fired but quits and goes to work at another department, because of police misconduct or poor job performance.
The very fact of you reading these reports can help prevent future abuse by police officers whose job it is to serve and protect your community, not cause harm. These are police reports from which you can learn much about the quality of policing in your city or town in Texas..

POLICE CORRUPTION
Police corruption is the abuse of police authority for personal or financial gain, ranging from minor favors to systemic criminal behavior. It erodes public trust, undermines the rule of law, and can have devastating effects on individuals and communities.
Corruption can be categorized by the scale and nature of the misconduct:
Corruption of authority: The misuse of a position of authority for personal benefit. This can include taking small gratuities like free meals or discounts in exchange for favoritism.
Extortion and bribery: In extortion, an officer uses threats to demand money or favors. In bribery, a civilian offers an officer money or favors for preferential treatment, such as avoiding a ticket or an arrest.
Internal payoffs: Practices within a department where promotions or favorable assignments are bought and sold.
Perjury: Lying under oath during investigations or court proceedings to protect other officers or secure a conviction.
The “frame-up”: Planting or fabricating evidence to ensure the conviction of a suspect, particularly in drug cases.
Noble cause corruption: Engaging in illegal or unethical behavior for what an officer believes is a good outcome, based on the belief that “the ends justify the means”.
Abuse of authority: This broad category includes police brutality, sexual assault, harassment, false imprisonment, and conducting unlawful searches and seizures
