Policy On Profiling

Bias-based profiling is the selection of individuals based solely on a common trait of a group, which includes, but is not limited to race, ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, religion, economic status, age, cultural group or any other identifiable groups.

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is committed to impartial policing and does not condone the use of biased-based profiling. This agency protects the Constitutional rights of all people, regardless of race, color, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, physical handicap, religion or other belief system or physical characteristic; and treats each person with respect and dignity.
