Beginning January 1, 2002, the McAllen Police Department, in accordance with the Texas Racial Profiling Law (S.B. No. 1074), began collecting police contact data for the purpose of identifying and responding (if necessary) to concerns regarding racial profiling practices. In 2009 legislation mandated the reporting of this data directly to TCLEOSE.
