How should TCOLE be notified when a peace officer's license is suspended?

When a peace officer's license is suspended, the correct procedure is for the agency to report this situation to TCOLE immediately. This requirement ensures that TCOLE is kept informed about the status of peace officers' licenses to maintain accurate records and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

The responsibility lies with the agency because they have direct oversight of their officers and can verify the details surrounding the suspension. This process reinforces accountability within the law enforcement agency and ensures TCOLE has the most current information to safeguard the integrity of law enforcement operations in Texas.

This prompt reporting is vital for maintaining the trust and safety of the community, as it prevents individuals with suspended licenses from continuing to engage in law enforcement duties.
