The End Racial Profiling Act (ERPA) would do the following:
-Prohibit the use of profiling based on race, religion, ethnicity, or national origin by federal, state, and local law enforcement
-Institute anti-profiling trainings for law enforcement agents
-Ensure data collection and monitoring of law enforcement activities as it relates to race, religion, ethnicity, and national origin
-Develop meaningful procedures for receiving, investigating, and responding to complaints
-Establish a private right of action for victims of profiling
-Authorize the Attorney General to provide grants to law enforcement agencies to encourage the development and implementation of best policing practices and withhold grants from law enforcement agencies that fail to comply with the Act
-Mandate the Attorney General to submit periodic reports to Congress on ongoing discriminatory practices by federal, state, and local law enforcement

As a result of these provisions, ERPA will lead to the elimination of profiling based on a range of characteristics, including race, religion, ethnicity, and national origin by law enforcement at all levels of government. In addition, victims of profiling would be able to file lawsuits on their behalf against law enforcement agencies that violate their rights. Finally, law enforcement officials would receive training on how to refrain from using profiling tactics and implement best practices that enable community policing. With ERPA in place, the utilization of law enforcement tactics relying on profiling will be lessened, and communities of color will have more reasons to trust law enforcement.
