The Venus ISD Police Department has been fully-authorized as a police agency by the State of Texas since November 15, 2019, and all VISD school district officers are commissioned by the State of Texas. School district police officers are authorized to enforce all laws and may arrest individuals found in violations of those laws.

Racial Profiling
The Venus Independent School District supports the 77th Texas Legislature's mandate prohibiting racial profiling in Texas. Our police officers work under a departmental policy that is consistent with all state and federal laws. The policy includes provisions for citizens to contact us if they have a conflict with a Venus Independent School District police officer.

Since January 1, 2020, the Venus Independent School District police department in accordance with the Texas Code of Criminal Procedures Article 2.132 (b)(7), has been collecting police contact data for the purpose of identifying and responding to concerns regarding racial profiling practices. The data analysis documented within the Racial Profiling Report for the last calendar year suggests that the Venus Independent Police Department is not currently experiencing a problem regarding racial profiling practices. This is also supported by the fact that no complaints from community members regarding officers misconduct associated with racial profiling practices have been received.  
​​
The data was submitted to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officers (TCOLE) as required by the Texas Code of Criminal Procedures Article 2.131-2.138. The public can obtain an electronic copy of the Racial Profiling Report from TCOLE by visiting their website.
