2026 Austin Police Oversight Expo - All Presentations

The 2026 Austin Police Oversight Expo, held by the City of Austin on October 20, 2026, featured presentations on civil rights enforcement and police oversight, including complaint reviews, policy recommendations, training oversight, mediation, and public transparency. Speakers described existing arrangements rather than new purchasing decisions: the civil rights division has contracts with HUD and the EEOC for investigations, and Austin Police Oversight signed a contract with the nonprofit Dispute Resolution Center last November to provide mediation for eligible complaints. No contract values, procurement votes, or new awards were reported. A presenter also noted that City Council had previously voted not to proceed with Flock license-plate-recognition cameras; this was described as an existing decision, not a vote at the expo.

The expo also presented an officer-involved-shooting data dashboard, developed with city teams and available in English and Spanish, and discussed how data and policy recommendations may inform future training and oversight. The presentation referenced an existing Axon contract for body-worn and in-vehicle cameras and related software, without discussing a new award or funding. No procurement activity was identified at this meeting beyond these references to existing contracts and the prior camera decision.
