Rogers Police Department, AR.

A settlement has been reached and is pending court approval in a class action lawsuit alleging racial profiling which was filed on behalf of "all Latino persons who, since March 23, 1998, have been subjected by officers of the Rogers Police Department to a stop, detention, investigation, search or seizure because they are Latinos and in the absence of a reasonable, articulable suspicion that they are involved in criminal activity." Under settlement terms, the police force will undergo training and supervision changes. (Oct-09-03)
