Relating to the collection of certain incident-based data reported to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement.
SB 1761 requires the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement to standardize and collect detailed incident reports from law enforcement agencies about officer-public encounters, including detentions. It mandates the Commission to develop uniform submission guidelines and quality standards in collaboration with public safety agencies, and to annually review these standards. The bill also requires the Commission to publish this incident data and a public glossary on its website, making it accessible for research and community understanding. This directly affects law enforcement agencies (who must submit data), the Commission (who must manage it), and the public (who gains access to the data). The bill does not create new reporting requirements but standardizes existing data collection under Texas law.
