Stop Data (January 2024 – June 2024)

The Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) requires state and local law enforcement agencies to collect data regarding stops of individuals and to report this data to the California Department of Justice. RIPA also requires the Attorney General to issue regulations for the collection and reporting of this stop data. This data is not only used to inform policy and other recommendations issued by the Racial and Identify Profiling Advisory Board but is a cornerstone for law enforcement agencies in understanding and shaping policy at the local level.
