RIPA police stop data - race of persons stopped
About this dataset
The race of persons stopped by the San Diego Police Department, as perceived by the officer conducting the stop.
Data were collected according to requirements set forth in Government Code section 12525.5 that was enacted as a result of the Racial and Identity Profiling Act of 2015 (AB 953), also known as RIPA.
The file contains one row per perceived race per person stopped by Police. An officer may perceive more than one race for a person stopped. The person stopped is uniquely identified in the pid field, and the stop is uniquely identified in the stop_id field. These two fields can be used to join this dataset to the other RIPA datasets available.
