In 2001, the Texas legislature, in an attempt to address the issue of racial profiling in policing, passed the Texas Racial Profiling Law (S.B. 1074). Since that time, the Longview Police Department has collected citation-based contact data for the purpose of identifying and addressing (if necessary) concerns regarding racial profiling practices among police officers. Each year, the Police Chief presents to the city council a report detailing the results of an analysis of the citizen contact data for the previous year. Below are links to the Citizen Contact Data for the last five years.
