On July, 1, 2019, the San Antonio Police Department, in coordination with the Bexar County District Attorney, implemented an expanded cite and release program for Bexar County residents.  As part of the program evaluation process, both the SAPD and Bexar County District Attorney’s Office committed to providing quarterly updates to the Public Safety Committee. The second quarter report will provide the results of the program for the period of October through December 2019 and compare those results to the 1st Quarter report covering the period of July to September 2019.
