NAACP makes ‘costly demands’ for DPS
[f'hL
AUSTIN (AP) — Several differ
ences remain on resolving issues of
alleged racial dis^runinatixyj in il ie
Texas Depart meal, .of Puqbfc Safety,
both sides in the negotiation say.
Gerald Car nth, head negotiator
for the DPS, said the National Asso
ciation for the Advancement of Col
ored People presented “new and ad
ditional demands” during talks
Monday that would be costly.
Funds to implement changes re
quired by the new demands were not
readily available and would have to
be approved by the Legislature, he
said.
NAACP officials said that while
the DPS has agreed to negotiate on
some issues, other more important
issues remain unresolved.
Grover Hankins, chief negotiator
for black officers and general coun
sel for the NAACP, said the DPS has
not gone far enopgh for black offi
cers, passed over for promotions.
Another point of disagreement
between the two groups is the oral
review board.
The DPS has resolutely main
tained that the promotion svstem,
including the oral review board, is
non-discrim inatory.
Three blacks had been promoted
to sergeant since January, and two
blacks promoted to captain, Cat ruth
said. He also said Lee Rov Young, a
black investigator, is on the promo
tion list for the Texas Rangers.
NAACP officials countered that
blacks still make up only L7 percent
of the 610 law enforcement supervi
sors in the department,anditl
cent of 2,584 law entorcenifii?
