Two Texas Collections:
In Texas, there are two independent collections: (1) State Mandated reporting to the Attorney General's Office (OAG) and (2) National Use of Force (UoF) Collection to the FBI.
Although they are separate collections, some data elements collected do overlap. The National UoF Collection captures more detail and provides a clearer picture of these events, allowing for better analysis. Click here for more information.
State Mandated Reporting to OAG: All Texas law enforcement agencies have a mandatory requirement to report to the OAG per Code of Criminal Procedure (CCP) Article 2.139, Article 2.1395, and Article 49.18 to include:
- Officer-involved shootings
- Injuries or death of Peace Officer
- Custodial deaths
OAG Program:
- The OAG is the repository for this information and can assist with questions about their collection and forms.
- The OAG manages the collection, and the data remains at the state level.
OAG Resources:
- For account setup and online reporting go to Forms and Reports For Law Enforcement | Office of the Attorney General
Note: This data collection is separate from the National UoF Collection.
