Of the 250 law enforcement agencies that received at least one racial profiling complaint in that time frame, 92% of them upheld none of them, according to the analysis. Despite receiving 883 racial profiling complaints during that four-year period, the most in the state, the Los Angeles Police Department upheld only two. If an allegation of racial bias is made in the field, he said, a supervisor is immediately dispatched to the scene. Those who make racial profiling complaints, however, will receive only a form letter noting that their complaint was upheld or rejected. In a statement, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Lt. Eddie Bachman said profiling allegations often stem from subjective claims.
