Workforce
As reported to the FBI for 2020, covering a population of 534.
| Year | Officers | Civilians | Population served | Per 1,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 1 | 0 | 534 | 1.87 |
| 2015 | 1 | 0 | 521 | 1.92 |
Officer and civilian counts are full-time employees as filed by the agency in its annual return. A dash means the agency did not report that figure for that year — it does not mean zero.
Bias-motivated incidents in the FBI’s file
No incidents appear in the FBI’s hate crime file for Lake City Police Department in any year from 1991 to 2025, as at 14 August 2026. This does not mean none occurred.
Absence from this file is not a zero. The file lists incidents that were reported to the FBI. An agency can be missing from it because it recorded none, because it did not report, or because it does not take part in the FBI’s hate crime program, and nothing Police Census holds can tell these apart. In any one year the file lists incidents for only a minority of the agencies the FBI counts as reporting.
The figures are counts of incidents as they appear in the file, as at 14 August 2026; Police Census does not turn them into a rate and does not compare them with other agencies. Offence and bias wording is the FBI’s own, unaltered. Source: FBI Crime Data Explorer, additional datasets, hate crime bulk file, agency record TX2051700.
Texas racial-profiling report filings
The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) lists a racial-profiling report submitted for Lake City Police Department. The filing status is TCOLE’s own word. This section shows that a filing was made and when; it does not show what the report says.
| Reporting year | Filing status (TCOLE’s word) | Submitted | Total stops, as filed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Exempt | 2026-02-16 | — |
| 2024 | Exempt | 2025-02-28 | — |
TCOLE lists this department as “LAKE CITY POLICE DEPT.”.
Exempt is a filing, not a missed one. TCOLE’s own page says: “Agencies that do not make motor vehicle stops in the routine performance of duties must fill out the one page online exempt status report.” A row marked Exempt is that report. No stop count is shown for it.
The stop count is a raw number as filed. It is not a rate, and Police Census does not compare it with a population or with other departments. A dash means TCOLE’s file carries no usable count for that row. The register is matched to TCOLE’s list by name, and only where exactly one agency fits.
Re-use terms not verified. TCOLE publishes no licence, no public-domain dedication and no re-use statement for this data; its site carries only a copyright notice (“Copyright © 2023 Texas Commission on Law Enforcement”). Police Census has not verified the terms on which it may be re-used, and shows it on that footing.
