Analysis
Texas Racial Profiling Senate Bill 1074 mandates that ALL police agencies report by March 1 of each year, their traffic-related contact data. All agencies are required to report Tier 1 data and some, depending on the application and usage of video and audio equipment, are required to collect and report Tier 2 data.
Crime Analysis Group is experienced in assisting police agencies in the preparation of the annual Racial Profiling Report including, but not limited to, the analysis of data relevant to traffic-related contacts.
Search Analysis
In addition to the statutorily required contact data analysis, police agencies have been recommended to conduct, in an on-going basis, studies on their search-related data. This analytical process allows agencies to identify potential racial profiling problems as these relate to traffic-related searches.

Crime Analysis Group is committed to assisting your agency in developing a better understanding of all search patterns, including “PC and Consensual” searches.
