Section 1 also provides a list of requirements relevant to the Racial Profiling Law as established by Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE).  Sections 2 and 3 contain documentation which demonstrates compliance by the League City Police Department with the Texas Racial Profiling Law.  Section 2 and 3 also include documents relevant to the implementation of an institutional policy banning racial profiling, the implementation of a racial profiling complaint process (including the manner in which it has been disclosed to the public) and the training administered to all law enforcement personnel.
