Racial profiling is defined as any pattern or practice, including but not limited to stopping, detaining, frisking and searching, by deputies that is based upon a general belief that a person of a particular race, ethnicity or national origin is more likely to commit certain types of crimes.

Law enforcement actions must be based upon credible information known to the deputy, which leads him/her to believe that an individual is, has been, or is about to be engaged in activity which is in violation of the law.  Any other motivation for such action is strictly prohibited.
