Resolves of the Executive Council

Resolved, That Executive Council, meeting in Salt Lake City, from April 18-20, 2012, states its opposition to racial profiling by law enforcement and civil authorities that unjustly victimizes persons of color, causing undue harm to the victims, their families and their communities; and be it further

Resolved, That Executive Council states its support for Senate Bill 1670, End Racial Profiling Act of 2011, which is designed to enforce the constitutional right to equal protection of the laws by eliminating racial profiling through changing the policies and procedures underlying the practice; and be it further

Resolved, That Executive Council stands in solidarity with the suffering of the victims of the harm caused by racial profiling, their families and their communities, and laments the lack of adequate training on racial profiling issues as part of law enforcement training at all levels of civil authority, the lack of effective policies that prohibit racial profiling, and the lack of monitoring of discriminatory racial profiling practices by jurisdictions.
