Dear Fellow Employee,
The events of the past two months continue to remind us that we must remain vigilant and aware of what’s going
on around us. Remember that all of our jobs here
at DPS—whether commissioned or civilian personnel—include the responsibility to stay alert and be conscious of our surroundings. If you see anything out
of the ordinary, immediately report it to local law enforcement and to the DPS Special Crimes Service at
1-800-252-5402.
Having said that, it’s important to remember—and to remind others—that you cannot judge a person
based on appearance or ethnicity.

The stance of the Department of Public Safety on racial profiling is clear—racial profiling is illegal, unethical, against the principles of good police work and will not be tolerated.
