BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The June 27, 2023 presentation on the Integration of Revised Police Officer Training in the State of California in Accordance with the Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) will be given by London McBride, an EHRAC member and a 16+ year veteran of the University of California at Los Angeles Police Department (UCPD), who currently serves as the Crime Prevention and Community Engagement Officer for UCPD.
Part of Officer McBride’s job is educating the UCLA campus on safety through community outreach programs, such as active shooter training, and other personal safety trainings. He believes in instilling Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) in the workplace, including at UCPD, where he teaches the Racial and Identity Profiling, Procedural Justice, and Implicit Bias trainings, and is involved in campus EDI efforts. Officer McBride is also president of a newly formed organization called Police Against Racism (PAR) where their mission is “protecting the people we serve by changing the way we serve”.
His presentation is based on his work with the Museum of Tolerance and California POST (Peace Officer Standards and Training) on the racial and identity profiling curriculum, and will include the history/reason why the curriculum was developed, information on those who participated, which is important because it brings legitimacy to the curriculum, some of the topics discussed in the curriculum, and information on how RIPA works with law enforcement. There will be a question-and-answer period at the end of the presentation.
