Mission Statement
TEXAS LAW ENFORCEMENT COMPLIES WITH
SENATE BILL 1074, RACIAL PROFILING
The Alamo Colleges Police Department
supports the 77th Texas Legislature's mandate prohibiting racial profiling in
Texas. Our police officers work under a departmental policy that is consistent
with all state and federal laws. The policy includes provisions for citizens to
contact us if they have a conflict with an Alamo Colleges Police Officer.
The Alamo Colleges Police Department
realizes that there will be disagreements, from time to time, with individuals
that come in contact with our officers. We realize that confusion, different
perceptions or possibly the timeliness of information could result in
information that may produce different accounts of the same incident. These
disagreements between citizens and officers need to be addressed. We trust that
in the vast majority of contacts between citizens and officers are conducted in
a positive, professional manner. The relationship between the community and our
officers is based on confidence and trust. We cannot be effective without both
the community and our officers working together to achieve this goal.
Citizens feeling that they have a
legitimate concern may make a formal complaint to the Alamo Colleges Police
Department at any time by contacting any member of this department for
information on the complaint process. In addition, information about this
process may be obtained by calling us at (210) 485-0088 and a computer complaint
form can be obtained online.
The Alamo Colleges Police Department
would like to know about positive police contacts. Please write the Chief of
Police a letter or note to let him know about a positive contact with our
police officers, dispatchers or support staff. Chief Adams will let the officer
or other department members know about your letter and a copy will be placed in
their personnel folder.
We are very proud of the
relationship the Alamo Colleges Police Department shares with the community.
Our longstanding goal is to provide our employees and students with a safe
community where all may work and learn without fear or crime.
