An interaction resulting in temporary custody citation, arrest, permanent seizure of property as evidence of
a criminal offense, or referral to a school administrator because of suspected criminal activity.
An interaction in which a student is questioned to investigate whether they committed any violation of law,
including offenses listed under Education Code sections 48900, 4800.2, 4800.3, 4800.4, and 4800.7 or to
determine whether the student is a truant.
Any interaction in which an officer takes any of the actions provided under the category of information
entitled "Actions Taken" (as defined in the "Data Collected" section of this policy) excluding "none" and
searches applied using a neutral formula (Lexipol, 2022).
The Racial Identification and Profiling Act (RIPA) of 2015 is also known as the racial inequity bill. It requires
California law enforcement agencies to report annual stop data to the Attorney General. Effective January 1,
2022, a police officer conducting a stop of a person shall collect the data elements required by 11 CCR
999.226 for every person stopped and prepare a stop data report. The reporting of data to the California
Department of Justice shall begin on or before April 1, 2023 (Lexipol, 2022)
The information required to be collected on each stop includes information about the stop itself, the person
stopped, and the officer making the stop. Some of the things reported include reason for the stop, whether it
was in response to a call, and result of the stop. The officer is mandated to report on "Actions Taken" which
include consent to search, whether a search took place, or whether there was seizure of property. With respect
to the individual stopped, the officer is mandated to report on perceived race/ethnicity, age, gender, sexual
orientation, English fluency and disabilities (Lexipol, 2022).
All sworn police officers (which include School Resource Officers) began entering data starting January 1,
2022. Officers use a a web based application called ArcGIS Survey 123 powered by esri who is responsible for
creating ArcGIS, a mapping and spatial analytics software. The aggregate data is stored and analyzed.
Officers, themselves, are designated with unique identifiers through the program. Police staff are unaware and
unable to retrieve data for patrol or specialized teams. Instead, the cumulative data is analyzed and quantified
by the third party company. A first draft of this report is scheduled for January 1, 2023.
While metrics established by FUSD and the Board of Trustees prior to the start of the 2021-2022 academic
year include providing RIPA data, the entities were not a party to the design of how data would be collected or
warehoused. In fact, the data, itself, is entrusted with a third party analytics firm to ensure impartiality. Further,
entries do not include any personal identifying information (PII) on any students. The first scheduled reporting
for the Fremont Police Department is 2023.
Fremont Lexipol 402.5.2 provides guidance regarding stops of students in a K-12 public school. It articulates
the following:
