Chief Carillo Reacts to Racial Profiling "F" Grade

(Deming) – The Deming Police  Department has been given an “F” when it comes to preventing racial profiling, but Chief Michael Carillo says the grade is unfair.     

Deming is listed among   the 78% of law enforcement agencies in the state that reportedly have not complied with regulations established by state  law to prevent racial profiling, according to a report released  Thursday.

The report, published by the  NAACP of New Mexico and  immigrant advocacy group Somos Un Pueblo Unido, revealed  that the majority of New Mexico’s departments are not complying with the basic  requirements established by the law approved in 2009.
 
Those requirements make police  departments update their rules, publish them and have them available to the  public.
Also, departments must keep forms  available so people can file complaints if they feel they’ve been the victims of  racial
discrimination.

But Carillo said not  only has the Deming Police Department had a policy against racial profiling for  some time… but that policy was recently updated with the department’s efforts to  become accredited by the New Mexico Municipal League.     
Carillo said he submitted information and forms on the departments’ process for dealing with complaints about officers in April to the two groups… and told the representative that the Deming department was in the process of revising its policy against racial profiling and he would submit that once completed.

Carillo submitted the  completed revised policy by fax on June 6th… and said the grade of  “F” is unfair.
