Notes. Searches of person and searches of property are captured in separate data fields and were combined for calculating
search rates for a given identity group. Percentages for discovering contraband and/or evidence are calculated based on the
number of individuals from the given identity group where officers reported searching the individual or their property,
rather than the total number of stopped individuals from the given identity group.

Notes. “Consent Only” searches refers to searches where “consent given” was the sole basis that officers provided for performing a search. “Consent
plus” searches are searches where officers reported “consent given” in addition to some other basis for performing the search. “Other discretionary
searches” refers to searches where officer safety/safety of others, condition of supervision, suspected weapons, visible contraband, odor of contraband,
canine detection, evidence of a crime, exigent circumstances/emergency, and suspected violation of school policy search bases were one of the search
bases that officers provided for performing the search.

APPENDIX B – DISPARITY TEST METHODS
B.1 Residential Population Comparison Analysis Methodology
Considerations and limitations. Using data collected by the United States Census Bureau to
compare the racial and ethnic composition of residential populations with the composition of
individuals stopped by law enforcement is a common method for monitoring enforcement
patterns. There are several known limitations associated with using residential data in
comparison to law enforcement stop data. A residential population (i.e., the racial and/or ethnic
distribution of individuals who reside within a given area) represents the people who may be
stopped by officers. However, individuals may be stopped outside of their residential area (e.g.
commuting to work, tourists). The rate of these “commuter” stops likely varies from agency to
agency, and RIPA stop data do not include information on where stopped individuals reside.
Additionally, agencies may concentrate their patrol efforts in certain areas and may not have an
equal likelihood of encountering residents throughout all areas in their jurisdiction. Individuals
from different groups may also engage in activities, such as driving, with different average
frequencies, making them more or less likely to be stopped. Another consideration concerns the
difference between the numbers of times a person may appear in the RIPA stop data compared to
the residential population data collected by the United States Census Bureau. A person may be
stopped multiple times within a given calendar year, which would require multiple stop data
entries for the same person. Identifying whether a person appears in the data more than once is
not possible with the information collected in the RIPA stop data. On the other hand, the United
States Census Bureau attempts to only count a person once within the American Community
Survey (ACS) by implementing procedures that are intended to address unduplicated responses
in their data collection efforts.1 Due to our inability to estimate the number of recurrent stop
actions – individuals who experience a stop action more than once in a year –we report the stop
actions per capita rather than an estimate of the number of individuals per capita experiencing a
stop action.
There are also concerns with response bias in compiling information derived from residential
surveys, such as the census; some groups are more difficult to count, and may be underestimated
in official data. The COVID-19 pandemic presented additional challenges to the Census
Bureau’s data collection efforts that subsequently affected the 2020 ACS data.2 The Census
Bureau announced that, for purposes of addressing non-response bias due to pandemic-related
data collection disruptions, the methodology implemented for the 2020 ACS data is different
from previous years. This methodological change will be applied to subsequent estimates that
include 2020 data. For additional information about the methodological changes implemented,

notes/2022-03.html>.
In addition to general concerns with residential population benchmarking, there are also several
limitations that are unique to comparing RIPA stop data to ACS data. First, 2022 ACS data were
not available through Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) at the time this report
was written.3 The 2022 RIPA stop data demographics were instead compared to the 2021 ACS
demographics. Moreover, RIPA stop data regulations and the ACS categorize racial and/or
ethnic groups differently.4 ACS data have racial and/or ethnic groups that are not explicitly
captured by RIPA regulations. These individuals within the ACS have been collectively grouped
together in an “Other” category that does not have a match in RIPA regulations.
Finally, the source of race and/or ethnicity information for each dataset is collected differently.
Race and/or ethnicity is recorded for RIPA based on officer’s perception, while ACS respondents
self-identify. This distinction represents a key difference in objectives between the two
databases. The purpose of RIPA is to eliminate racial and identity profiling, a practice that is
based on how officers perceive the individuals they stop. RIPA data are intended to facilitate the
implementation of policies that will achieve this purpose. On the other hand, the objective of the
ACS is to provide a representation of information regarding community residents. Thus,
comparisons between these datasets operate under the assumption that officers’ perceptions often
agree with how an individual self identifies.
Statistical Analysis. Stop demographics for each police department, sheriff’s department, district
attorney’s office, or coroner’s office were compared to their primary city or county of service,
respectively.5 For example, the racial and/or ethnic distribution of individuals stopped by San
Francisco Police Department was compared to the racial and/or ethnic distribution of San
Francisco city residents in the ACS data. There are two exceptions; the first is for California
Highway Patrol, which was compared to the state population. Second, only municipal police,
county sheriff agencies, county district attorney offices, and county coroner’s offices were
included in the residential analyses since their agency jurisdictions are clearly defined in ways
that allow comparison to ACS data. The agencies that were excluded due to their jurisdictions
failing to align with sampled geographic areas in the ACS will not have 2021 ACS population
estimates displayed in Table C.1.1.
In RIPA reports published prior to 2022, one year estimates captured in the ACS data were used
for residential comparisons. However, one year estimates only provide data for populations of
65,000 or more. Beginning with the 2022 RIPA report, it was necessary to start using the five
year ACS estimates in order to capture residential population data for these areas as smaller

4 For example, RIPA regulations explicitly include Israeli individuals in the Middle Eastern/South Asian
group, but the ACS does not have an Israeli category.
5 These comparisons are approximate since agency jurisdictions do not always map perfectly to the
boundaries of their primary city or county of service.

agencies began to submit RIPA data. Five year ACS estimates provide population data for all
areas, no matter the size of the population served. However, unlike the one year estimates, the
five year ACS estimates do not provide racial and ethnicity categorizations that are specific
enough to create a comparable grouping to serve as a benchmark for the Middle Eastern/South
Asian racial and/or ethnic group captured in the RIPA data. The following table provides
information for the racial and/or ethnic categories used from the ACS data and the associated
RIPA racial and/or ethnic group for which comparisons were made against.

Benchmarking using residential population data involves comparing the distribution of racial
and/or ethnic groups stopped by law enforcement to the distribution of residents in the areas
serviced by agencies who submitted data in 2023. Since all law enforcement agencies were
required to submit stop data in 2023, we did not have to apply the weighting process that was
required in previous years. Weighting by agencies was implemented previously with the
intention that the overall state residential population comparison was more reflective of just the
areas served by agencies that collected RIPA data.
The proportion of the state population within racial and ethnic groups in the ACS is used as a
benchmark for the racial and ethnic composition of statewide RIPA reported stops. For example,
44
to calculate the proportion of Asian individuals residing in California, we would take the group’s
respective estimate for the number of Asian residents and divide it by the total state population
estimate. This number is then compared to the number of stopped individuals that were
perceived to be Asian divided by the total number of stops.
The jurisdiction-specific residential population benchmarks are generated by calculating each
racial group’s proportion within the respective jurisdiction using the estimates reported in the
ACS. Each racial group’s proportion is calculated by taking each individual group’s estimate and
dividing it by the sum of the total population for a given jurisdiction. For example, if we want to
find the population benchmark of Asian individuals for the San Benito County Sheriff’s Office,
we would take the group’s respective estimate for the number of Asian residents residing in San
Benito County and divide it by the total county population estimate. This number is then
compared to the number of stopped individuals perceived to be Asian reported by San Benito
County Sheriff’s Office divided by the total number of stops reported by this agency. Agency
residential population comparisons are repeated for each agency separately.
B.2 Statewide Per Capita Stop Action Rates Methodology
In Appendix Section B.1 we describe the methods used to compare the racial and/or ethnic
composition of people stopped with the racial and/or ethnic composition of residents, both
statewide and within specific jurisdictions. Additionally, we used ACS data to calculate a
statewide per capita rate of experiencing a specific stop action6 for different racial and/or ethnic
groups during 2022. Since the number of people within each racial and/or ethnic group varies,
per capita rates7 provide a meaningful way to make comparisons between groups.
For example, if we wanted to calculate the per capita rate of searches for individuals perceived as
Native American, we would take the frequency of searches reported for this group and divide the
number by the population estimate reported for Native Americans in the ACS for the state of
California. We then take this number and multiply it by 100,000. The resulting number (X) is the
per capita search rate of Native American residents of California and can be read as for every
100,000 Native American residents, officers reported performing X searches of people they
perceived as Native American. The limitations and considerations associated with this type of
analysis are consistent with those discussed when comparing stop data to residential population
data. Please see Appendix Section B.1 for further information regarding considerations and
limitations to such approaches.
B.3 Discovery Rate Analysis Methodology
Considerations and limitations. Discovery rate analyses avoid some of the issues associated
with other methods because they do not require the stop data to be compared to external
6 For the purposes of this explanation, the term “stop actions” is not limited to the list of actions taken by officer
during stop as defined under section 999.226 (12)(A)(1-23) of the RIPA regulations. Rather, “stop actions” refers to
a broader set of data elements reported, such as the primary reason for stop, actions taken by officer during the stop,
and the result of stop.
7 A per capita rate is: for every 100,000 residents of a race and/or ethnicity group, the number of stops of the race
and/or ethnicity group involving the given stop action.
45
information (e.g. residential population data). However, discovery rate analyses also rely on
assumptions about the behavior of individuals in different identity groups. Disparate treatment
between racial and/or ethnic groups is identified when search and discovery rates are opposed
(e.g. Black individuals have high search rates but low discovery rates).8 When these statistics do
not move in opposite directions, it is more difficult to determine whether disparate treatment is
present. It is also possible that there are observable factors that could influence an officer’s
decision to search someone that are not captured by RIPA stop data. The effectiveness in
predicting the presence of contraband based on certain suspicious behaviors may also vary
between racial and/or ethnic groups.9 Finally, the strength of the assumptions for discovery rate
analyses may vary depending on the type of search being conducted. For example, consent
searches include all searches where the only basis included was consent given. Thus, these
searches do not include an element of probable cause, which may impact the assumptions
underlying their analysis and results.
Statistical Analysis. The discovery rate analysis was conducted in two steps. First, linear
probability models were used to test whether there were differences in search rates between
White individuals and each racial and/or ethnic group of color independently. Second, similar
analyses were used to test for differences in contraband or evidence discovery rates during stops
with searches. Each of these analyses were applied to all agencies combined, all municipal
agencies combined (excluding California Highway Patrol), and for each individual agency. Both
sets of analyses included the following considerations:
1. The four racial and/or ethnic groups who were stopped least frequently were aggregated
into a single category to increase statistical power. These groups include Middle
Eastern/South Asian, Multiracial, Native American, and Pacific Islander individuals.
2. A set of high dimensional fixed effects were included in the analysis as controls,
including gender, age, hour of the day, day of the week, month of the year, and the
officer conducting the stop.
3. The standard errors were clustered at the officer level to better allow for unobserved
correlations between stops made by the same officers.
Using these criteria, we estimated the effect of an individual (i) belonging to a racial and/or
ethnic group of color (m) on a resulting binary search or contraband/evidence discovery outcome
