Philadelphia police are now required to politely ask criminals to stop engaging in certain crimes, such as defecating in the street, before officers can actually take action, according to an internal memo from the department obtained by Fox 29 reporter Steve Keeley.
“The City’s statistical expert has reviewed the Department’s stops to identify any racial disparity,” the internal memo reads. “For years, our expert could not conclusively determine that racial disparity existed in our stops.”
“The purpose of the Modified Quality of Life Enforcement Pilot Program is NOT to abandon quality of life enforcement, but rather to provide offenders an opportunity to cease and desist such activities, prior to the issuance of any citations.”
Officers must “FIRST engage only in a mere encounter with the individual and request the individual stop engaging in the prohibited behavior,” the memo reads. Offenders will be free to leave and will not be detained. If the individual refuses to comply with the cease and desist command, then officers can proceed normally.
