This Urban League film focuses on the police department in Sacramento, Calif., in a panel discussion of affirmative action programs and the role of minorities in law enforcement.
Abstract
Discussion topics include police salaries, promotional policies, the role of black police officers in contributing to improved police-community relations, the concept of a 'fair' law enforcement policy, and the way in which police internal investigations of citizen complaints are conducted. In addition, the work of the Law Enforcement Minority Project in Sacramento is described in terms of its goals - substantially increasing the recruitment and promotion of minorities within the criminal justice system.
