Policy Against
Racial Profiling
|
Racial Profiling is
defined as 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.
|
The 77th Texas Legislature, by
passage of Senate Bill 1074, mandates that law enforcement officers will
not engage in the practice of racial profiling.
|
It has always been a goal of the
Bell County Sheriff's Office to provide its citizen a safe community
where everyone is provided equal protection of the law.
|
If you feel you have been a victim
of racial profiling, you are encouraged to file a complaint. All
complaints made against a member of the Bell County Sheriff's Office
will be thoroughly investigated.
