Members of the Plymouth Township Police Department are prohibited from engaging in racial or other biased-based policing.

Racial or other biased-based policing means the unreasonable use of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender or religion by a law enforcement officer in deciding to initiate an enforcement action.  It is not racial or other biased-based policing when race, ethnicity, national origin, gender or religion is used in combination with other identifying factors as part of a specific individual description to initiate an enforcement action.

Any person who believes he or she has been subjected to racial or other biased-based policing may file a complaint with the Plymouth Township Police Department and/or the Michigan  Attorney General's Office.  Complaints to the Plymouth Township Police Department may be filed in person, by telephone, or by email to the Office of Chief or any on-duty supervisor.  All allegations of biased-based policing will be investigated by the Office of Chief and all individuals who file a complaint will receive a written disposition upon completion of the investigation.

All law enforcement officers of the Plymouth Township Police Department are required to attend annual racial or other biased-based policing training.

The Plymouth Township Police Department collects data on all vehicle stops to include: employee identification number, age, gender, ethnicity, religious dress, time and date of stop, location of stop, reason for stop, how information was obtained, action taken, search rationale, type of search, and contraband seized.
