What resources do jurisdictions need to begin collecting data?
The resources necessary to implement data collection systems depend on the needs and existing resources of the individual jurisdictions. Some jurisdictions are able to incorporate racial profiling data collection in their exiting data collection systems or through communication with the dispatcher, and thus require very few resources to start a program. Other jurisdictions decide to update or overhaul their existing technology to begin racial profiling data collection and improve other communication and information systems.
