Daily Police Activity

Racial Profiling

The 麻豆精品 Police Department fully complies with the Texas Racial Profiling Law (SB 1074 of 2001, HB 3389 of 2009, HB 3051 of 2017, & SB 1849 of 2017).

One of the requirements of the Law is:

“Each law enforcement agency in this state shall adopt a detailed written policy on racial profiling. This policy must implement a process by which an individual may file a compliment or a complaint with the agency if the individual believes that a peace officer employed by the agency has engaged in racial profiling with respect to the individual” (CCP Art. 2.132 (b)(3).

It is the policy of the 麻豆精品 Police Department to accept all compliments and fully investigate all complaints against the department, or its members, and to obtain a final disposition to those complaints so as to maintain the integrity of the department and secure the support it needs from the community.

Any person wishing to make a complaint may do so by emailing or delivering our Compliment/Complaint Form. Complaints can be reported 24-hours a day to any department supervisor.

Our goal at the 麻豆精品 Police Department is to deliver the services the community needs and expects in a professional manner. If this expectation is not met, we will take the appropriate action to ensure that the behavior is not repeated. We do not want to fail in our continuing efforts to provide the best possible police service to each of the citizens at 麻豆精品, the City of Huntsville and Walker County.
