This is a Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) elective Racial and Bias Profiling online training course offered for Texas Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

Racial and bias based profiling is a challenge facing many communities across the country. In addition to targeting racial groups such as the African-American community, racial and bias profiling also affects a broad range of sub-cultures, including gender based, religious, physically and mentally challenged, and prior military service issues. Not only is racial and bias based profiling humiliating and degrading for the people subjected to it, it is unconstitutional, an ineffective law enforcement practice, and it damages a community’s sense of security and well being. In this course, we discuss the various aspects of such prejudices, and how officers can operate effectively without being influenced by local prejudices.

Please note, the entire course final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.
