" When an officer stops cars for random traffic violations he

must give us a code which signifies race/sex of the driver and

then he must tell us the action taken. "

Texas is starting its profiling stats Jan. 1 - what this means

for my agency is every contact will be documented by citation.

There will be no such thing as a verbal warning every thing is

documented and the officers will bring their citations to

dispatch and we will enter the information off the citation

into a new program (that we haven't received yet) and then that

program will be able to keep up with who is writing whom. ( or

who, whatever! you know what I mean) Did I mention that this

is supposed to start NEXT TUES and no software has been

received? Hey, stress is my middle name!

OK, this has been discussed on the list before, and maybe I'm being overly

sensitive or something, but I just have to wonder--WHY IS DISPATCH DOING

THIS? Once again, whenever someone can't figure out who should do

record-keeping (Records, maybe?) it falls on dispatch. Who should answer

these public works phones after hours? How about dispatch, they're not that

busy. But let the phone ring three times because you're busy giving CPR

instructions and the manure hits the fan! Luckily, this is not a problem at

my agency, we are large enough and busy enough that we have a large records

division and a crime analyst, and anything patrol wants entered into a

software program, they do it themselves, but I feel for you guys at smaller

agencies who do everything from dispatch to janitor and everything in

between!
