Question: Citizen requesting a sit down with Chief McClelland and officer he is filing a complaint on

Chief McClelland: we do have a mediation process with our complaints. Sometimes a person is dissatisfied with an officer and they want to tell him/her how they felt. We do talk and people use the word profiling. We need to agree on some common definitions. Profiling is very broad. We can simplify that if we put it in two categories, racial and criminal. 

Racial is illegal because you are only stopping them because of their race. Criminal profiling is legal. It is based on behavior. There is a difference.
