Jacksboro Police Chief Scott Haynes presented the department’s annual racial profiling report to the Jacksboro city council Monday, March 23.

He said the department conducted 1,783 traffic stop in 2019, which was an 11% increase over 2018.

“I’m proud of the department because we continue to increase that number every year and that’s good law enforcement work,” Haynes said. “There’s no alarming numbers, most of the stops are males and most of the stops are white or Hispanic and Latinos.
