Report 2021-105: Law Enforcement Departments Have Not Adequately Guarded Against Biased Conduct (Release Date: April 2022)
Recommendation for Legislative Action
To increase the adoption of best practices for addressing officer bias in law enforcement departments statewide, the Legislature should establish a required frequency with which DOJ must complete best practice reviews of law enforcement departments to assess their efforts to combat bias. Local departments should be required to cooperate with DOJ, and DOJ should issue public reports about the results of those reviews. The Legislature should further establish the minimum required areas that DOJ should evaluate during these reviews, including the best practices described in this report, and require DOJ to establish criteria for selecting the law enforcement departments it reviews.
