2024 Annual Report

Austin Police Oversight’s (formerly the Office Police Oversight) 2024 Annual Report provides a comprehensive overview of APO’s work and highlights work in policy, complaint oversight, and community engagement. It also reflects the continued implementation of the Austin Police Oversight Act (APOA) and ongoing efforts to strengthen public safety practices and ensure that community voices remain central to the oversight process.

The APOA, known as City Code Chapter 2-15, made multiple changes to Austin Police Oversight’s authority and operations. In collaboration with the City Manager’s Office, City Legal, and the Austin Police Department, APO has worked diligently to implement the APOA. The 2024 Annual Report further documents APO’s implementation efforts.
