Austin has roughly 2,200 registered sex offenders. Last year, police knocked on just 369 doors. Police checks of sex offenders: Fort Worth: 3,368 San Antonio: 3,092 Austin: 369 In 2024, APD managed about 1,100 checks after putting up overtime funding. Then the city cut that budget. Checks fell 67%. The overtime budget that made 1,100 checks possible in 2024: $40,000. The city cut it. If you do the rough math, it would cost just $79,000/year for the city to do a check on all sex offenders. For comparison: The city's DEI office budget this year: $6.3 million -- up from $5.4 million last year.
