Racial Profiling Training
Since 2002, all Arlington Police officers have been instructed, as specified in the
Texas Racial Profiling Law, to adhere to all Texas Commission on Law Enforcement
(TCOLE) training and the Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT)
requirements. To date, all sworn officers of the Arlington Police Department have
completed the TCOLE basic training on racial profiling. The main outline used to train
the officers of Arlington has been included in this report.
It is important to recognize that the Chief of the Arlington Police Department has
also met the training requirements, as specified by the Texas Racial Profiling Law, in the
completion of the LEMIT program on racial profiling. The satisfactory completion of the
racial profiling training by the sworn personnel of the Arlington Police Department
fulfills the training requirement as specified in the Education Code (96.641) of the Texas
Racial Profiling Law.
