Informing the Public on the Process of Filing a Racial Profiling Complaint with the
Arlington Police Department
The Texas Racial Profiling Law requires that police agencies provide information to the
public regarding the manner in which to file a racial profiling complaint. In an effort to comply
with this particular component, the Arlington Police Department launched an educational
campaign aimed at informing the public on issues relevant to the racial profiling complaint
process.
The police department made available, in the lobby area and on its web site, information
relevant to filing a complaint on a racial profiling violation by a Arlington Police officer. It is
believed that through these efforts, the community has been properly informed of the new
policies and the complaint processes relevant to racial profiling.
