The Board hopes the California Legislature and local governments can increase funding to law enforcement agencies to implement RIPA by supporting not only the data collection itself, but also in supporting law enforcement’s evaluation of the collected data as well as the development of anti-bias training and policies. To effectively fulfill their ...

The Board’s analysis of Wave 1 data suggests that officers from these agencies stopped each racial or ethnic group at frequencies that differed from both the weighted ACS residential population estimates and the CHP driver information. These differences were most pronounced for Black individuals, who composed a significantly larger proportion of t...
All racial and ethnic groups referenced in this section are based on the reporting officer’s perception of the race or ethnicity of stopped individuals. Officers may perceive individuals differently than how the individuals self-identify. compared to White individuals, particularly with respect to search activity. For example, officers searched H...
RIPA stop data collection and SWITRS categorize racial/ethnic groups differently. RIPA data does not expressly identify drivers; rather, it identifies persons stopped for traffic violations. Officers may be incorrect in determining which party was at fault, in some cases. Identity groups could differ in their likelihood of being captured in the S...
Reduced visibility under darker conditions does not mean no visibility, so officers may still be able to perceive race prior to initiating stops. The likelihood of some identity groups to commit certain offenses or be stopped for certain offenses could differ across lighting conditions. Seasonal differences in driving patterns of certain identity g...
Yield rate: proportion of searched individuals found in possession of contraband or evidence. Officer-discretion level: level of discretion available to the officer in deciding to conduct a search. Higher: includes searches where the only listed basis for search was “consent given”. Lower: incident to arrest, vehicle inventory, and search warrant...
In May 2019, the RIPA Board released a five-minute video in which six diverse stakeholders address data integrity for the RIPA stop data. The video outlines the role of law enforcement agencies and the Department in performing data integrity checks, as described by Dr. Sharad Goel, Stanford University Assistant Professor and Founder and Executive ...

We were unable to find any law enforcement agency in California that had a policy that addresses the circumstances in which members of the public make bias-based calls for service.78 The Board reviewed evidence-based best practices for responding to bias-based calls for service and identified the following best practices: Agencies should have a po...
When reviewing the data presented above, it is important to recognize that the reporting policies and practices of the agencies may account for some disparities in the number of complaints submitted by agencies of similar size. In other words, the fact that one agency has documented or reported disproportionately more or fewer complaints than anot...
Verbal complaints – whether there is a duty to document, investigate, and report. Complaints – verbal or written – by arrested individuals. Complaints by uninvolved third parties who witness misconduct. Multiple complaints by third parties about one incident Is every complaint logged or are all logged as one incident? Is an officer required to ...
Another factor that could explain an agency’s relatively low number of civilian complaints is an agency’s system for processing complaints and, in particular, the lack of a centralized repository for civilian complaints. For example, complaints that allege use of force may be reported directly to an Internal Affairs or Professional Standards unit ...
Another factor that may explain the disparities in numbers of complaints between agencies and across years is different levels of community access to agency complaint processes. This has been a subject of discussion for the Board, as well as the subject of several grand jury reports in California.98 In particular, the Board’s review of the compla...
Lack of knowledge of complaint process: complaint processes may not be prominently featured on an agency’s website or literature. Inadequate explanation of process: complainants may be confused or have misconceptions about the complaint process. Language barriers: complaint processes may not be available in languages other than English. Difficulty ...
The agency’s complaint form should include an explanation of the policy to provide the complainant with clear direction on complaint procedures.

The form should capture: If the complaint is being submitted anonymously, by a third party, or on behalf of a minor; If a translator has been requested; How the complaint was submitted (e.g., online, mail, in person). The form should include the name and contact information for agency personnel who filed or collected the complaint. The form sho...
The form should ask for the following relevant information about the complainant (if the complainant so chooses): Name Age Gender Race or Ethnicity Sexual Orientation Primary Language Address Home, work, mobile phone numbers. E-mail Address
The form should capture relevant information about the incident, including: The location of the incident Date of incident Time of incident If the incident was the result of a traffic or pedestrian stop If the incident resulted in bodily injury Including a narrative description field If photos or videos of the injury were included with the complaint...
The agency’s civilian complaint procedures should clearly explain how various types of complaints will be received, logged, and reviewed. The procedure should require that all complaints – including those that may be reviewed by a civilian review board or different branch within the department (for example, Internal Affairs) – be logged into a cen...
