Denver police will begin collecting racial information about the people they contact following recent protests and complaints about a lack of accountability. Community activists rejected claims by authorities it would be too time-consuming or too expensive to collect information on traffic or pedestrian stops. Among groups that have demanded that Denver police study racial profiling are Black Lives Matter 5280, the Colorado Latino Forum, The Denver Justice Project, the NAACP's Denver chapter, the ACLU of Colorado and Showing Up for Racial Justice. Chief Robert White said it's difficult to determine if racial profiling is an issue without the facts. ___Information from: The Denver Post, http://www.denverpost.com
