SUBJECT: 2022 Biased-Based Profiling Administrative Review
In accordance with SOP 960- (Biased Based Profiling) and CFA 2.06 (E), | have completed an annual
administrative review of the agency practices, citizen complaints and any documented concerns that
may have been received. The following is a breakdown of the information reviewed:
- In accordance with FSS 316.614, the records division has successfully submitted their
quarterly reports to the DHSMV for the 2022 Seat Belt Violation Data Collection System. Each
of these reports documents a non-biased approach to the issuance of these citations. For
each quarter reported, the majority of citations were issued to non-Hispanic individuals.
- A review of our current policy SOP 960 (Biased-Based Profiling) and Biased- Based Profiling
brochure was conducted. Both the policy and the brochure appear to represent a consistent
approach with regards to our current practices. There were also no notable needs for
revisions.
- During the year, 2022 there were 27 complaints received by the Office of Professional
Compliance. One of these complaints did not involve any officer with the department. Of
these 26 incidents, there were no complaints that were identified as being biased-based in
nature.
Please consider this memorandum is an administrative review of the Cocoa Police Departments
practices involving biased based profiling.
