Racial Profiling: A Police Manager’s Perspective\n\nRacial profiling is one of the most complex and controversial issues facing law enforcement professionals today. It is an issue that provokes impassioned debate and extensive division within all segments of the community. Whether racial profiling by police officers is a matter of perception or reality loses significance when considering the widespread public belief in its existence and the subsequent liability for law enforcement agencies that encounter allegations of racial profiling.\nThe practice of racial profiling has no place in law enforcement. It is an activity that undermines the public trust vital for an effective community policing organization. Police must be perceived as both providers of public safety and deferential to the civil liberties of those they have sworn to protect and serve. While the majority of police officers serve their communities in a professional and ethical manner, the debate over the reality of racial profiling as a practice in law enforcement is loudest on the side of its existence on a national level. In fact, a 1999 Gallup Poll reveals that 60% of Americans polled believe racial profiling exists. To restore public trust and improve community/police relationships, law enforcement agencies must address both the concerns of the community at large that are relevant to discriminatory policing, and the allegations of racial profiling made by ordinary citizens.\n\nWhat is Racial Profiling?\n\nAn agreed upon definition of racial profiling is almost as controversial as the practice itself. For example, S.989, legislation currently being considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee and commonly referred to as the “End Racial Profiling Act of 2001,” defines racial profiling as the practice of a law enforcement agent relying, to any degree, on race, ethnicity, or national origin in selecting which individuals to subject to routine investigatory activities, or in deciding upon the scope and substance of law enforcement activity following the initial routine investigatory activity, except that racial profiling does not include reliance on such criteria in combination with other identifying factors when the law enforcement agent is seeking to apprehend a specific suspect whose race, ethnicity, or national origin is part of the description of the suspect. Opponents of this legislation consider this too broad a definition encouraging the idea of profiling by police for malevolent motives and adding more confusion and conflict to this incendiary issue even as police executives attempt to develop policies for the effective management and eradication of this practice.\n\nA more common sense definition subscribed to by many police administrators maintains that racial profiling is the use of race as the “sole” basis for a stop. A number of states, including California, have adopted the definition of racial profiling as the practice of detaining a suspect based on a broad set of criteria that casts suspicion on an entire class of people without any individualized suspicion of the particular person being stopped.\n\n\nFurther complicating any conformity of definition in identifying the activity of racial profiling is the distinction made by some activists, including Heather McDonald, a writer for the Manhattan Institute, between “hard profiling” (use of race as the only factor in determining the likelihood of criminal conduct) and “soft profiling” (use of race as one factor among others in assessing the propensity for criminal behavior). Where there is a consensus of agreement concerning this issue is that the practice of racial profiling not only violates the fundamental principles of a democratic society but also is illegal and morally wrong.\n\nIn view of the current social environment and to limit civil liability often associated with allegations of racial profiling, law enforcement agencies must first develop written policies specifically p
