Campaign Zero evaluated the policing practices of San Diego Police Department (SDPD) and San Diego Sheriff’s Department (SDSD). Results show both departments to be engaged in a pattern of discriminatory policing. Both departments stopped black people at a rate more than 2x higher than white people and were more likely to search, arrest, and use force against black people during a stop. Both departments not only use force more often but also use more severe forms of force against black people than other groups, even after controlling for arrest rates and alleged level of resistance. The report also found evidence of anti-Latinx bias, anti-LGBT bias and bias against people with disabilities in both departments’ search practices. Moreover, when communities report police discrimination or excessive force, fewer than 1% of these allegations were upheld.
