AB 284: Law enforcement: Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board (RIPA).

This bill aims to improve diversity and racial and identity sensitivity in law enforcement by establishing a Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board (RIPA). The board will include the president of the California District Attorneys Association, representatives from human and civil rights organizations, community organizations, and religious clergy members. RIPA will analyze annual stop data to identify instances of racial and identity profiling and make policy recommendations to eliminate it. The board will issue an annual report that includes its analysis, findings on the past and current status of racial identity profiling, and policy recommendations. Members of RIPA can include a dissenting opinion in the report, and the board will also provide a response to any dissenting opinions. This bill seeks to promote transparency and accountability in law enforcement practices.
