In 2024, SAPD blew through their overtime budget by $17 million while crime and 911 calls dropped and more officers were hired. From overtime to procurements to compensation, and even grant compliance, SAPD has not had a real, thorough audit in decades. Meanwhile San Antonio faces a $158 million deficit next year with essential programs on the line to be cut.
Five councilmembers already support an SAPD audit, and the audit calendar is approved during the city budget vote. Join us this budget season to demand a public audit of SAPD spending with findings our community and elected leaders can act on!
