San Marcos Chief of Police Stan Standridge shared the 2020 compiled Cite & Release Report during Wednesday’s Chief Advisory Panel meeting.
“Incarceration for nonviolent offenses as a model isn t working,” Standridge said. “The struggle I have as a professional police officer is we have difficulty identifying plan b and developing capacity for plan b. What do you do in lieu of arrest?”
The report contains data related to cite and release minus the first quarter of the year because they had not yet been requested to collect this data.
Of 1,167 incidents, 27%, or 317, were citation eligible offenses. Eighty-four of those individuals were arrested due to reasons outlined in the cite and release ordinance.
Gov. Greg Abbott recently announced the suspension of statewide coronavirus restrictions, ending the Texas mask mandate. Beginning Wednesday, March 10, all businesses can reopen at 100% and Texans will no longer be required by law to wear masks in public spaces.
