Racial Profiling is defined as law enforcement-initiated action based on an individual's race, ethnicity, or national origin rather than on the individual's behavior or on information identifying the individual as having engaged in criminal activity.

The 77th Texas Legislature, by passage of Senate Bill 1074, mandates that law enforcement officers will not engage in the practice of racial profiling.

It has always been a goal of the Bell County Sheriff's Office to provide its citizen a safe community where everyone is provided equal protection of the law.

If you feel you have been a victim of racial profiling, you are encouraged to file a complaint. All complaints made against a member of the Bell County Sheriff's Office will be thoroughly investigated.
