1. What is bias profiling?

Bias Profiling, by legislative definition, is any law enforcement initiated action based on an individual’s race, ethnicity, or national origin rather than on the individual’s behavior or on information identifying the individual as having engaged in criminal activity (Article 3.05, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure). This law strictly prohibits any form of racial profiling by law enforcement agencies.

2. How do I file a complaint?

Our policy and the Texas Code of Criminal Procedures prohibits racial profiling and any complaints of bias profiling will be thoroughly investigated. Any person who believes they were stopped and/or searched solely because of race, ethnicity, or national origin may contact our Internal Affairs Office to file a complaint.
