RACIAL PROFILING STATS
In accordance with 77th Legislature’s mandate prohibiting racial profiling in Texas, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office affirms its commitment to unbiased policing in all encounters between an officer and any person. Furthermore, the office will take measures to ensure behaviors and operating procedures that serve to promote public confidence and mutual trust through the provision of services in a fair and equitable fashion. Racial bias policing or “Racial Profiling” is a method and behavior that the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office will not condone, nor tolerate and has established policy and procedure to prohibit.
Racial profiling pertains to persons who are contacted and viewed as suspects or potential suspects of criminal behavior. The prohibition against racial profiling does not preclude the use of race, ethnicity or national origin as factors in a detention decision. Race, ethnicity or national origin may be legitimate factors in a detention decision when used as part of an actual description of a specific suspect for whom an officer is searching. Detaining an individual and conducting an inquiry into that person’s activities only because of that individual’s race, ethnicity or national origin is racial profiling.
The office shall accept complaints from any person who believes he or she has been stopped or searched based on racial, ethnic or national origin profiling. No person shall be coerced or discouraged from filing a complaint, nor discriminated against because he or she filed such a complaint.
Any supervisor can take a complaint from a member of the community and will provide a Citizen’s Complaint Form upon request.
