2023 AB953: Racial and I 1ty Profiling Act (RIPA) Annual Report (Districts -All) This memorandum provides information related to the Carlsbad Police Department's 2023 AB953 Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) annual repor t .

Background
California's Racial and Identity Profiling Act, known as RIPA, (Assembly Bill AB953, 2015) requires law enforcement agencies in the State of California to collect perceived demographic data from specified police contacts with the public and to report them annually to the Department of Justice. This demographic data is recorded based on the perceptions of the officers regarding the individuals contacted.

The Carlsbad Police Department's 2023 Annual RIPA Report represents data required by the law covering the period from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. The report includes graphs and charts to visually display the data required by state law.

Discussion
The regulations require officers to collect several categories of information, known as "data elements," for each stop. Those data elements are:

1. The reporting officer's agency's originating agency identifier, which is a unique identifier assigned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation

2. Type of stop

3. The date, time, and duration of the stop

4. The location of the stop

5. The perceived race or ethnicity of the stopped person as perceived by the officer

6. The perceived gender of the stopped person as perceived by the officer

7. The perceived sexual orientation of the person stopped

8. The perceived age of the stopped person as perceived by the officer

9. Whether the officer perceived the stopped person as having limited or no English fluency

10. The perceived or known disability of the stopped person

11. Person stopped perceived to be unhoused

Council Memo - 2023 AB953: Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) Annual Report June 13, 2024

12. Whether the stop was made during the course of responding to a call for service

13. Whether the stop was made during the course of performing a welfare or wellness check or an officer's community caretaking function

14. The reason for the stop (such as, the officer stopped the person for a traffic violation or because the officer had reasonable suspicion that the person committed a crime)

15. The reason given to the stopped person (that is, the reason for the stop that was communicated to the stopped person)

16. All of the non-force -related actions taken by the officer during the stop

17. The basis for any search

18. Whether any contraband of evidence is discovered

19. All of the force -related actions taken by the officer during the stop

20. The result of the stop (such as, the officer arrested the person or took no action)

21. The officer's identification number, which is the permanent identification number assigned by the officer's law enforcement agency to the reporting officer and which will be used for all stop data reporting to the Department

22. The officer's years of experience at the time of the stop

23. The officer's assignment at the time of the stop (such as patrol or gang enforcement)

24. Race or ethnicity of officer

25. Gender of officer
In accordance with the permanent injunction issued on April 30, 2024, by the Sacramento County Superior Court in Marvel, et al. v. State of California, et al., Case No. 24CV000737, the California Department of Justice is no longer enforcing section 999.226{a){23) of Title 11 of the California Code of Regulations, a regulation under the Racial Identity and Profiling Act of 2015 {RIPA) that previously required collection of "gender of officer" data. Accordingly, agencies and individuals subject to RIPA are no longer required to provide "gender of officer" data {#25 above), as defined in section 999.226(a){23) of Title 11 ofthe California Code of Regulations, on RIPA disclosures.

The data relevant to #25 in the list above is not included in the report due to the injunction.

The Department has permanently deleted all "gender of officer" data received to date per the injunction . In addition to the previous year's existing questions mandated by law, the following new question was introduced by the Carlsbad Police Department starting May 1, 2023:
• Whether the officer's perceptions of the individual were generated prior to, or after contacting the individual.

Example: An officer may observe a vehicle run a red light in daylight and be able to perceive the driver as a white male of an approximate age prior to the stop, but not be able to perceive a disability, English fluency, or LGBTQ+.

In the 2022 report, the Police Department provided comparison population and demographic statistics obtained from the San Diego Association of Governments (SAN DAG) for reference.

Council Memo - 2023 AB953: Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) Annual Report June 13, 2024

The same SANDAG statistical information was not available for the current reporting period. For the 2023 RIPA Report, the Carlsbad Police Department included population and demographic data obtained from a source called Lightcast. The demographic data in Lightcast is compiled from several sources using a specialized process. Sources include annual population estimates and population projections from the US Census Bureau, and birth and mortality rates from the U.S.

Health Department. Lightcast is a leading labor market and economic data aggregation and analytics company that is used by cities, counties, universities, and private sector organizations across the country. Additional information regarding Lightcast is provided in the 2023 report.

Next Steps
The 2023 RIPA Report will be posted to the Carlsbad Police Department's website and readily available to the public in the "Resources" box on the front page. The report is also attached to this Memorandum for City Council's review.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
{city of
Carlsbad
In 2015, the State of California passed Assembly Bill No. 953 (AB 953), otherwise known as the Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA). AB 953, hereafter referred to simply as RIPA, requires that law enforcement agencies in the state of California collect perceived demographic data from specified police contacts.

As outlined by the California Code of Regulations {11 CCR§ 999.224), RIPA stop data must be collected during police contacts matching either of the following criteria: "(1} Any detention, as defined above in these regulations, by a peace officer of a person; or (2) any peace officer interaction with a person in which the officer conducts a search, as defined in these regulations." It should be noted that, although titled "stop," the RIPA data stop requirement does not only apply to officer-initiated activity such as a traffic stop and can be triggered at any point during any police contact such as calls for service. Further explanation of legal standards concerning a temporary "detention" or "stop" is provided below :

Per Cal. Code Regs. tit. 11 § 999.224, "Detention," unless otherwise provided in these regulations, means a seizure of a person by an officer that results from physical restraint, unequivocal verbal commands, or words or conduct by an officer that would result in a reasonable person believing that he or she is not free to leave or otherwise disregard the officer.

A valid "detention" is when an officer has "reasonable suspicion" that: (1) something relating to criminal activity has just happened, is happening, or is about to happen; and (2) the vehicle and/or the person to be detain relates to that activity. "Reasonable suspicion" means articulable facts, together with rational inferences from those facts, warranting an objective suspicion. A temporary "detention" or "stop" is an exertion of authority that is something less than an arrest but more substantial than a simple "contact" or "consensual encounter." A "consensual encounter" is a contact between an officer and an individual that is strictly voluntary.

RIPA requires that specified data fields for each RIPA stop must be completed at the end of every qualifying contact and certain data collected is based solely on the officer's perception. Consequently, it is important to note that the way an officer perceives any given individual might differ from the way that individual identifies themselves.

As outlined in Penal Code Section 13519.4, this Act also established the Racial and Identity Profiling Advisory Board for the purpose of eliminating racial and identity profiling, and improving diversity and racial and identity sensitivity in law enforcement.

The Carlsbad Police Department is firmly committed to providing police services in a Constitutional and transparent manner. Additionally, the Police Department has created policies and provides training to department members in furtherance of this commitment. Lastly, the Police Department looks forward to providing the people of Carlsbad with a transparent overview of each year's RIPA data and utilizing that data to continuously foster strong community relations.

The following report has been compiled using the Carlsbad Police Department's RIPA stop data gathered between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023.

OVERALL STATISTICAL REVIEW
{city of
Carlsbad
The information presented in this report is representative of the 2023 statistical data gathered from all RIPA stops conducted by members of the Carlsbad Police Department. This report also presents population information gathered by Lightcast. The demographic data in Lightcast is compiled from several sources using a specialized process. Sources include annual population estimates and population projections from the US Census Bureau, and birth and mortality rates from the US Health Department. Lightcast, formerly the companies of EMSI and Burning Glass, is a leading labor market and economic data aggregation and analytics company that is used by cities, counties, universities, and private sector organizations across the country. For further data on Lightcast, please go to https://lightcast.io/about/ company. In last year's report data was gathered from SAN DAG, but that same source was no longer available and Lightcast gathers data from a broader spectrum.

As outlined by the California Code of Regulations (11 CCR§ 999.224), RIPA stop data is based on the perceptions of the officer most involved in the RIPA stop. The data collected is hereinafter referred to as "perceived" data .

Some of these perceived data elements include:
• Perceived Race or Ethnicity of Person Stopped
• Perceived Gender of Person Stopped
• Person Stopped Perceived to be LGBT
• Perceived Age of Person Stopped
• Person Stopped Has Limited or No English Fluency
• Perceived or Known Disability of Person Stopped
Once the conditions of RIPA are triggered, specific officer actions have been designated as being required data elements and must be submitted by the officer most involved at the conclusion of each RIPA stop. Some of these actions include:
• Reason for stop
• Result of the stop
• Actions taken during the stop
RIPA stop data does not require consideration factors including but not limited to:
• Intelligence-led policing
• Examples: Crime trend analysis, license plate reader hits, crime intelligence bulletins with vehicle or suspect descriptions, or other investigative information known by the officer prior to the stop. • Commuter traffic
• Example: The City of Carlsbad alone employs approximately 1,250 people. Of 774 full-time employees, 77% do not reside in Carlsbad. Of 476 part-time employees, 63% do not reside in Carlsbad. • Tourism
• In May of 2022, the Carlsbad Tourism Business Improvement District reported Carlsbad has 3.5 million visitors annually .

Lightcast Population Estimates for the City of Carlsbad were used as the basis for comparison in this report for the following sections:
• STOPS BY CATEGORY - statistics related to perception data and the associated demographic breakdowns . • REASON FOR STOP - statistics related to stop reason data and the associated demographic breakdowns. • RESULT OF STOP - statistics related to stop result data and the associated demographic breakdowns. • ACTIONS TAKEN DURING THE STOP - statistics related to actions taken by officers. • We have also provided sections for data comparing CALLS FOR SERVICE VS. OFFICER INITIATED ACTIVITY.

Refer to the Appendix for Carlsbad Police Policy 402 concerning RIPA compliance.

Carlsbad Police Department Officers are required to collect the perceived demographics of those they stop, rather than the actual demographics. In most cases, officers reported that they did not formulate a perception of an individual's demographics until after they initiated the stop rather than before initiation. It should be noted that this customized question wasn't incorporated into the reporting system until 04-04-2023.

ACTIONS TAKEN - CALLS-FOR-SERVICE
{city of
Carlsbad
A call for service occurs when a member of the public contacts the police department to report an emergency, an incident, or other issue of concern that they believe is a matter for the police to address. Examples would be a citizen calling the police to report a crime in progress, reporting a traffic collision, or to report suspicious activity. A total of 2,132 actions were taken when officers responded to calls-for-service. Multiple actions could be selected per person stopped. As evidenced by this data, officers more often take no action when they initiate a contact versus when they are responding to a call-for-service.

CONCLUSION
{city of
Carlsbad
From January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, Carlsbad Police Officers made 8,924 total RIPA stops involving 9,519 people.

The data collected for each RIPA stop is recorded as perceived by Carlsbad Police Officers and may not reflect the actual race, age, or disability status of the person stopped. Officers are not permitted to ask individuals to self-identify for data collection purposes.

Of these stops, approximately 84.77% were made for traffic violations, 12.27% for reasonable suspicion, 1.77% for consensual encounters (which resulted in a search), 0.58% for those known to be on parole/probation/mandatory supervision, and 0.56% or less for those with known warrants or school-related violations such as truancy.

Additional analysis concluded that approximately 0.18% (Less than 1 percent) of total stopped persons were perceived or known to have at least one disability. 103 individuals, which is about 1.01% of the total stopped persons were perceived to have limited or no fluency in English.

The demographics reported by the Lightcast estimates used for comparison are not necessarily a direct reflection of the demographics of Carlsbad on any given day. Some factors which account for the fluctuation in population may include:
1) The data only accounts for actual residents and not tourists or visitors to the city. 2) Carlsbad borders several other cities and the populations of these locations are known to traverse Carlsbad for work, entertainment, shopping, dining, or various other activities. 3) Carlsbad contains a freeway, highway, railways, and the McClellan-Palomar Airport, all of which provide access to and from the city for both local and long-distance visitors.

In closing, the Carlsbad Police Department is committed to adhering to the stipulations set forth by the RIPA statute. The Department recognizes the importance of collecting and analyzing stop data and then using that data to make any applicable proactive changes and improvements to maintain and advance community relations and trust. The Police Department will continue to provide policing services to the community consistent with Constitutional policing best practices.

CARLSBAD POLICY 402
402.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
{city of
Carlsbad
The Racial and Identity Profiling Act of 2015 (hereinafter referred to as RIPA), requires local law enforcement agencies to collect perceived demographic and other detailed data regarding individuals detained or searched by peace officers. For the purposes of this law, "peace officer " is as defined by Penal Code§ 830 and 832. RIPA was passed into law and codified in Government Code section 12525.5, Penal Code sections 13012 and 13519.4, and as part of Title 11, Division 1, Chapter 19, of the California Code of Regulations. This collected data is required to be submitted to the California Department of Justice on a periodic basis.

It is the intent of the Department to gather and report the required data and no part of this policy should be interp reted in a way to conflict with any currently existing law. The Department's RIPA Stop Data Collection Application may be modified as needed to maintain compliance with required data reporting.

Bias-based policing undermines legitimate law enforcement efforts and may lead to claims of civil rights violations. Bias­ based policing alienates the community, fosters community distrust of law enforcement, and invites media scrutiny, legislative action, and judicial intervention. The Department neither condones nor tolerates the use of bias-based policing .

Discriminatory conduct based on race, religion, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, or disability while performing any law enforcement activity is prohibited. All law enforcement contacts and activities, including, but not limited to, calls for service, investigations, law enforcement­ initiated stops or detentions, and activities following stops or detentions, shall be unbiased and based on legitimate, articulable facts. All law enforcement action taken shall be consistent with the standards of reasonable suspicion or probable cause as required by federal and state law.

Failure to comply with this policy is counterproductive to professional law enforcement and is an act of misconduct, which is subject to discipline. Any employee who becomes aware of biased policing or any other violation of this policy shall report it in accordance with established policy and procedure. 402.1.1 DEFINITIONS
Definitions related to this policy include:

Bias-Based Policing means conduct by peace officers motivated, implicitly or explicitly, by the officer's beliefs about someone based on the person's actual or perceived personal characteristics, i.e., race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or mental or physical disability .

Consensual search means any search that occurs when a person gives an officer consent or permission to search the person or the person's property. Consent can be given in writing or verbally or may be implied by conduct. (11 CCR§ 999.224).

An officer's perception shall be based on their personal observations and interactions with the individual detained . The officer shall not ask t he individual any additional identifying questions, refer to their driver's license or identification card, or ask another individual for information which would verify the identity of the individual detained. 402.3 PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
In no circumstance shall an officer include any individual 's personal identifying information or Unique Identifying Information of any officer into a RIPA report. "Unique Identifying Information " means personally identifying informat ion, the release of which, either alone or in combination with other data reported , is reasonably likely to reveal the identity of the individual officer who collected the stop data information.

6} Only the primary agency with investigative jurisdiction for the incident shall complete the RIPA report through their reporting system.
7) In no case should duplicate reports be submitted for the same individual by multiple officers or multiple agencies.
8} The RIPA report should be completed by the end of the officer's shift unless exigent circumstances preclude doing so, and with a supervisor's permission.

In such circumstances, the data shall be completed as soon as practicable. (11 CCR 999.227}. 402.6 INTERACTIONS WITH STUDENTS IN A K-12 PUBLIC SCHOOL 1) Peace officers shall complete a RIPA report only if the following interactions occur with students on the grounds of a K-12 public school:
2) Any interaction that results in a temporary custody under Welfare and Institutions Code section 625, citation, arrest, permanent seizure of property as evidence of a criminal offense, or referral to a school administrator because of suspected criminal activity.
3) Any interaction in which the student is questioned for the purpose of investigating whether the student committed a violation of law, including violations of Education Code sections 48900, 48900.2, 48900.4, and 48900.7, or to determine whether the student is truant. 4) Any interaction in which an officer engages in one or more of the actions as described in section 402.4 of this order.
5) Peace officers shall not complete a RIPA report in the following interactions with students on the grounds of a K-12 public school.
6) Any detention or search of all persons as part of a neutrally applied formula that is not based upon personal characteristics. Such as a security checkpoint. 7) The interaction only includes searches conducted at the entries or exits of school facilities by screening devices, and secondary screenings that result from that initial screening. 8) Example 1: All students entering a school are required to pass through a metal detector. A school police officer searches a student's person or belongings because a metal detector is activated. The interaction shall not be reported.
9) Example 2: An officer searches a student's backpack because he or she suspects the backpack contains narcotics. The interaction is reportable.
402.7 GENERAL EXPECTATIONS TO RIPA REPORTING REQUIREMENTS 1) Peace officers are not required to complete a RIPA report in the following circumstances:
2) Any stop or search that occurs in a custodial setting or on custodial grounds. However, peace officers who work in a custodial setting must report detentions or searches which occur in non-custodial settings (an example would be a deputy who is assigned to the jail but detains an individual while working an off-duty job at a football game).
3) Stops that occur during public safety mass evacuations, including bomb threats, gas leaks, flooding , earthquakes, and other similar critical incidents .
a) For the purposes of this section, the incident commander (or designee) shall make the determination if an incident meets the criteria for a critical incident.

Carlsbad Police Dee__artment 2560 Orion WaYi_ Carlsbad CA 92010 I 760-931-2100 251 Page
{city of
Carlsbad
4) Stops that occur during an active shooter incident, meaning an individual is actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area.
5) Stops that occur during or as a result of routine security screenings required of all persons to enter a building or special event, including metal detector screenings, including any secondary searches that result from that screening.
6) Any type of crowd control in which persons are directed to remain at a location or routed to a different location for public safety purposes.
7) Interactions during which persons are detained at a residence so that officers may check for proof of age, solely for the purpose of investigating possible underage drinking. a) Example 1: An officer is dispatched to a residence to investigate a noise complaint . Upon arrival, the officer suspects that some of the persons at the house party are engaged in underage drinking, and he or she detains the persons to request identification to verify proof of age. Because the only action the officer takes is to detain the persons for the sole purpose of verifying proof of age, these interactions do not require a RIPA report .
b) Example 2: At that same party, the officer, in addition to detaining a person to question him/her, also asks to search the person. Regardless of whether the person consents to the search or is actually searched, that interaction will require a RIPA report.
8) Checkpoints or roadblocks in which an officer detains a person as the result of a blanket regulatory activity that is not based on an individualized suspicion or personal characteristic. a) Example: A checkpoint or roadblock, including a DUI checkpoint, that stops all vehicles or stops randomly selected vehicles using a neutral formula, not based on individualized suspicion or personal characteristics, does not require a RIPA report.
9) Diversion of traffic or individuals as a result of any routine traffic control not based upon individualized suspicion personal characteristics.
10) Interactions with passenger(s) of traffic stops who are not the subject of an investigation or enforcemen t action and who are not searched.
a) Example: Any individual(s) being asked to exit the vehicle simply because it is being towed. 11) Interactions with the targeted subject(s) of a warrant, search condition, home detention, or house arrest while inside of their residence. However, a RIPA report is required for any interactions with persons in the home who are not the subject of the warrant or search condition if the officer takes any of the actions listed in section 402.4 of this order .
12) Consensual encounters that do not result in a search.

The data collected for each stop is the responsibility of a single officer on scene. The data will be reported and submitted for supervisorial approval. The Department will maintain all "Stop Data" and prepare an annual report to the California Department of Justice in compliance with RIPA. In addition, the Department's Senior Management Analyst will be responsible for producing an annual report fo r the Department regarding our STOP DATA. 402.7.1 SUPERVISOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
Supervisors should log in to the RIPA report system to review and approve or reject officer's RIPA reports by the end of the supervisor's shift unless exigent circumstances preclude doing so. In such circumstances, the data shall be completed as soon as practicable after the RIPA report was received. The primary purpose of the supervisor review is to ensure no personal identifying information has been included in the report. If any personal identifying information is found in the report, the supervisor shall reject the report.

Supervisors shall review reports for content and accuracy. If a correction is necessary, the reviewing supervisor should return the report for correction. It shall be the responsibility of the originating supervisor to ensure that any report returned for correction is processed in a timely manner.

Reports that have been approved by a supervisor and are either waiting in the que for download or have been submitted to the DOJ shall not be modified or altered except by way of a supplemental report. 402.8 DETENTIONS
All investigative detentions, temporary detentions, vehicle stops, arrests, searches and seizures of persons or property by officers will be based on a standard of reasonable suspicion or probable cause as required by the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, statutory authority, and prevailing case law. Officers must be able to articulate specific facts, circumstances and conclusions which support reasonable suspicion or probable cause for an arrest, vehicle stop or investigative detention.

Officers may take into account as part of a description the race, ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, religion, economic status, age and/or culture of a specific suspect(s) based on what reasonably appears to be credible, reliable, relevant information that links a person to a particular criminal incident or links a specific series of crimes in an area to a group of individuals.

Except as provided above, no person shall be singled out or otherwise treated differently on account of his/her race, ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, religion, economic status, age and/or culture. 402.9 POLICE CONTACTS WITH MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
This policy allows consensual encounters, but officers should apply the principles outlined below.

In an effort to prevent inappropriate perceptions of biased based law enforcement, officers shall utilize the following strategies when involved in any pedestrian contact or vehicle stop:
• Be courteous, polite, and professional.
• Introduce yourself by providing your name and agency affiliation. As soon as practical, explain the reason(s) for the stop, i.e., in vehicle stops, provide this information before asking the driver for their license, registration and proof of insurance.
• Answer any questions the member of the public may have, including explaining options for the disposition of a traffic citation, if relevant .
• Ensure that the length of the detention is no longer than necessary to take appropriate action for the known or suspected offense.
• During a consensual contact to include a traffic stop or a contact at a home or business, officers shall ensure that all persons contacted are aware of the officer's affiliation with the police department, except in situations that may jeopardize an investigation.
402.10 TRAIN ING
Training on fair and objective policing and review of this policy shall be conducted as directed by the professional standards and support bureau.
