414.02 PROHIBITION
Officers are strictly prohibited from engaging in racial / bias-based profiling in traffic contacts,
field/pedestrian contacts, and in asset seizure and forfeiture efforts. The prohibition against
racial/bias-based profiling does not preclude the use of race, ethnicity, or other factors in a
detention decision by a peace officer. Race, ethnicity, or other factors may be legitimate
indicators in such a decision when used as part of a description of a suspect or witness for whom
a peace officer is searching. (A 01.02.09)
