The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department is more likely to pull over a Black driver than a white one, according to analysis of traffic stop data by the ACLU of Southern California and Catalyst California, a racial justice advocacy group.
The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department shared the following statement with NBC 7:
"The San Diego County Sheriff's Department is dedicated to building a culture of trust with the diverse communities we serve. We do not condone nor accept any racial profiling. We routinely review our policies and procedures. We also engage in listening, building and maintaining collaborative relationships to develop best practices that will provide the highest level of service to all members of the community.
NBC 7 also received responses from the sheriff's departments in LA and Riverside counties. We are still waiting to hear back from the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department."We are unfamiliar with the report, but on the surface, it appears to be the same manner of “defund the police” social engineering which has led to the current high violent crime rates. We believe the opinions expressed in this report are contradictory to reality.
