Public safety

Offenses known to police, calendar year

• Each annual figure is the sum of the twelve monthly 'actuals' the FBI Crime Data Explorer returns for this agency (computed by this site); the FBI page itself charts the months.
• The FBI agency list gives Amarillo Police Department a NIBRS start date of 1999-10-01, so these years do not straddle the 2021 national switch from the Summary Reporting System to NIBRS for this agency; the FBI converts NIBRS incidents to these summary offense categories.
• All twelve months are reported for every year shown.
• Population used by the FBI for the agency: 198,770 (2015) to 204,528 (2025).
• These counts differ slightly from the Texas DPS counts for the same years (table apd-offenses-dps). The documents do not explain the difference.
• Not retrieved (FBI API rate limit on 2026-10-18): larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, arson; those cells are null.

Total index crime volume and violent crime volume, calendar year; one row per year per report edition

• Later reports print different figures for the same year. The 2024 report's tables state they include offense 09B (negligent manslaughter); the reports do not otherwise explain the revisions. Both values are kept.
• The 2023 report also prints 7,831 for Amarillo PD's 2023 crime volume in a separate 'Crime Volume and Rate' table, next to 7,743 in its five-year table.
• These tables appear in DPS sections that rank large agencies; only Amarillo's own figures are taken here.

Calendar year; clearances in a year can relate to offenses from earlier years

• Sums of monthly actuals (computed by this site). The FBI counts a clearance in the month it happens, which may be a later year than the offense.

US dollars, City fiscal year (October-September); one row per figure per budget book

• FY2020/21 through FY2024/25 books print a police 'Budget Comparison' (Total Expenses) for units 1610, 1640, 2210, 2610, 2620 and 26610 (wording varies). The FY2025/26 and FY2026/27 books print a department 'Expenditures' line that also covers grant funds (JAG, LEOSE, seized property and others listed in the FY2025/26 book). The same year therefore appears with different amounts; the books do not reconcile them.
• FY2019/20 $48,947,404 is from the FY2019/20 book's public-safety narrative ('Police is $48,947,404'); a police budget-comparison table was not found in the text extract of that book.
• The FY2026/27 books also print police 'Total Covered through General Revenues' (expenditures less police revenues), e.g. $70,505,434 for FY2026/27 after council review; not repeated here.
• APD annual reports state operating budgets of $48,805,745 (FY2019-20), $50,396,085 (FY2020-21), $53,005,425 (FY2022-23), $58,838,501 (FY2023-24), $64,250,000 (FY2024-25) and $67,590,276 (FY2025/26). These differ from the budget-book figures; the reports do not say which funds they include. src/data/department_budgets.yaml already carries FY2026 $67,590,286.

Stops in which a search was conducted, calendar year

• The 2022 report prints 325 searches as '(0.1%)' of stops; 325 of 33,293 is about 1.0% (computed). TCOLE files give zero or no value where a group cell is blank.

One row per reported death; fields as listed in the report

• Each row is a person who died in or during APD custody or arrest as reported to the Attorney General; the person is not named here. 'N/A' and blank fields are as published.

US dollars as listed in the City's pooled-fund check registers, July 2022 - July 2026; by City fiscal year (FY ends September 30)

• The check register does not tie payments to departments or projects; these vendors were chosen by name as sellers of policing products, and some payments may be for other departments.
• FY2022 covers July-September 2022 only and FY2026 runs through July 2026.
• Flock Group Inc appears with two payments totaling $6,150 (first 2023-07-13, last 2024-11-14); no other Flock spelling appears in the register.
• Dispatch software vendors (Hexagon/Intergraph, Tyler Technologies, Everbridge) are left to the dispatch area.

From the EMS program table, introduced in the FY2025/26 budget book.

• The FY2024/25 'Actual' figures in the FY2026/27 book (23,000; 14,340; 62%; 25; 12) are identical to the FY2024/25 'Estimated' figures in the FY2025/26 book. The book does not explain this.
• Earlier budget books do not print a medical-response count for the Fire Department.

US dollars, General Fund. Several figures exist for the same year; each row is one figure as printed, with the document it comes from.

• Where one book prints two budget figures for the same year (the revenue narrative's 'Fire is $...' and the program pages' 'Total Fire Department ... Budget'), both are kept; the books do not explain the difference.
• The FY2025/26 book's department summary gives $49,508,651 for FY2025/26 while its revenue narrative and the FY2026/27 book give $50,755,137; the documents do not explain the difference.
• Fire Operations alone (business unit 1910) is smaller: for example $47,031,340 budgeted for FY2025/26 and $41,260,033 actual for FY2023/24 (FY2025/26 book). Department figures include the Fire Marshal and Fire Civilian Personnel units.
• A 'Public Safety' summary in the FY2026/27 book lists '1910 - Fire Operations' at $102,335,695 for 2024-25 actual, about twice the department figure; the book does not explain this and the figure is not used here.
• Budgeted amounts for FY2026/27 are proposed, not adopted.

Percent of 23,861 calls, as printed in the 2025 AFD Annual Report pie chart.

• Shares as printed; they sum to 100.3%. The same report's letter counts 15,346 emergency medical responses out of 23,681 calls, which is about 65% (computed here), not 54%. The report does not explain the difference.

• These are payments from the City to AMR; payments from AMR to the City (dispatch, permit administrator) appear as revenue in the budget books, not in the check register.
• Individual payments range from $19.71 to $33,000.00 (computed from the consolidated register); two payments ($33,000.00 on 2022-10-27 and $1,967.92 on 2023-06-01) are recorded under the spelling 'AMERICAN MEDICAL RESPONSE(R)' in the raw register.

Calls on 10-digit emergency and administrative lines, as printed in the budget books' call-data tables.

• FY2018/19 and FY2019/20 label these 'Inbound' rather than 'Answered'.
• The printed 'Total' row does not equal administrative answered plus outbound for FY2023/24 (225,353 vs 224,314 computed) or FY2024/25 (323,756 vs 194,179 computed); the books do not say what the totals include.

• The FY2021/22 book repeats the FY2018/19 counts for EMS, AFD and Animal Management (38,942; 27,043; 23,481) and the same total (190,687) although its APD figure differs; 95,247 + 38,942 + 27,043 + 23,481 = 184,713 (computed). The book does not explain this.
• FY2020/21 labels the call rows 'Calls Answered (Priority)'; FY2021/22 says 'Calls Answered'.

US dollars, business unit 1270 (AECC). Each row is one figure as printed, with its document.

• The FY2026/27 book gives two different FY2024/25 actuals in two tables ($6,450,526 and $6,725,798) and does not explain the difference.
• A 'Public Safety' summary in the FY2026/27 book lists '1270 - AECC' at $12,901,052 for 2024-25 actual and $13,485,210 for 2025-26 budget, about twice the figures in the AECC section; the book does not explain this and those figures are not used here.

US dollars, General Fund revenue accounts 35510 'AECC - AMR Rate', 35520 'AECC - Potter Randall 911' and 35530 'AECC - BSA Participation'.

• FY2020/21 has two sets of actuals: the FY2022/23 book shows $964,806 (AMR) and $96,114 (BSA); the FY2023/24 book shows $890,358 and $88,681. The books do not explain the difference.
• The FY2019/20 book labels the BSA line 'Outside Participation'; its FY2017/18 actual is $0.
• The FY2025/26 book says the AECC 'also collects revenue from Amarillo Medical Response (AMR) to provide dispatch services for their ambulance services'; earlier books also named Baptist St. Anthony's (BSA). The budget books use the name 'Amarillo Medical Response'; the permit holder is American Medical Response, Inc. doing business as Amarillo Medical Services.

• Grant funding administered is labeled '(EMPG, SHSP, & AIP)' through the FY2022/23 book and '(SHSP & AIP)' later. The same amount, $620,410, is printed as the actual for FY2020/21, FY2021/22 and FY2022/23, and $786,011 for both FY2023/24 and FY2024/25; the books do not explain the repetition.

Full-time positions from each book's 'City Employees by Functional Group' table (FY2026/27: recapitulation table, unit 1232 budget column).

• The recapitulation tables in the FY2020/21 and FY2021/22 books list a unit called 'Emergency Management & Radio Comm.' with 9 positions for each year 2016-2021; from the FY2022/23 book the unit is 'Emergency Management' (5 positions for 2021 and 2022).
