Notes on the data:

This dataset is from the Redwood City Police Department (RCPD).
-
The terms “male” and “female” and “sex” are used to describe an individual’s self-defined sex as opposed to their gender identity, which RCPD does not report.
-
The race categories in this dataset reflect those used by RCPD.
-
The term “POC” meaning “People of Color” is used to group the races reported in the data, these include people who identified as Asian, Black, Hispanic, Mixed, and Pacific Islander.
-
3 Sergeants' promotion year is unknown, in the Demographic Report they are shown in "All Ranks", but are not represented in "Upper Ranks". All are white and male; all retired by 2008/2009.
-
“Promotions” counts individual officers one time to generate “total employed officers”, whereas “Demographics” uses annual averages. The numbers may vary slightly between the two percentage results because of differing numbers of years worked.
