RIPA police stop data - reason for stop

The primary reason a person was stopped by the San Diego Police Department. This data is 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 detailed reason per person stopped by Police. An officer may only record one primary reason for stopping a person; however additional details related to the primary reason may result in multiple rows per person stopped by Police. 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 at the following links:

For more information about RIPA regulations, see the California Code of Regulations final text.
