How often must law enforcement agencies report racial profiling statistics to TCOLE?

Law enforcement agencies are required to report racial profiling statistics to TCOLE on an annual basis. This frequency allows agencies to compile comprehensive data over the course of a year, reflecting their practices and patterns in traffic stops, pedestrian stops, and other law enforcement activities. Annual reporting helps TCOLE analyze trends, assess the impact of policies, and work toward reducing racial profiling, as it provides enough time for agencies to gather significant data while ensuring accountability and transparency in law enforcement practices. This timeframe supports the goal of promoting fair and impartial policing and addressing community concerns effectively.
