The California Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board
(Board) has released its
2024 Annual Report. The report continues to focus on the
Board’s prior work by analyzing additional ways to enhance law
enforcement and community interactions and reduce racial and
identity profiling.
It analyzes stop data reported on more than 4.5 million stops by
535 California law enforcement agencies from January 1, 2022 to
December 31, 2022. Additionally, the report examines youth
interactions with law enforcement, both within and outside of
schools, and examines the impact of police unions on law
enforcement accountability and protocols and guidelines for law
enforcement training on racial and identity profiling. Lastly,
the report continues the Board’s examination of pretextual stops,
analyzing the results of stops where field interview cards are
completed and where the stops result in resisting arrest charges.
