As an accredited law enforcement agency within the Commonwealth the NLCRPD complies with the standards established under the requirements of 1.8.3 related to Bias Based Policing: Also known as “racial profiling or bias based profiling,” is any traffic stop, field contact, vehicle search, asset seizure/forfeiture, or enforcement action based solely on a common trait of a group. Common traits include, but are not limited to, race, ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, religion, economic status, age, or cultural group. It must be made clear that under no circumstances will bias based policing be condoned.
