00:00:01.293 --> 00:00:06.483
Privacy, Civil Rights, and
Civil Liberties Protections

2
00:00:06.483 --> 00:00:10.397
The safeguarding of privacy, civil rights
and civil liberties is of utmost

3
00:00:10.397 --> 00:00:12.598
importance in this effort.

4
00:00:12.598 --> 00:00:16.872
This effort is critical to preserving our
democratic principals and to maintaining

5
00:00:16.872 --> 00:00:20.985
and fostering trust among law enforcement,
public safety officials, and the

6
00:00:20.985 --> 00:00:23.053
community members you serve.

7
00:00:23.053 --> 00:00:27.688
As such, privacy, civil rights, and
civil liberties protections must be built

8
00:00:27.688 --> 00:00:30.227
into an agency's SAR process.

9
00:00:30.227 --> 00:00:34.584
A SAR should not be based on individual
attributes such as race, ethnicity,

10
00:00:34.584 --> 00:00:38.807
national origin, or religious affiliation
but rather focused on an

11
00:00:38.807 --> 00:00:43.267
individual's behavior that is deemed
to be suspicious activity.

12
00:00:43.267 --> 00:00:47.839
As you document and report suspicious
activity, the protection of privacy,

13
00:00:47.839 --> 00:00:53.100
civil rights and civil liberties for
individuals and groups is paramount.

14
00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:56.256
Just as you do in your other daily duties,
you must:

15
00:00:56.256 --> 00:00:59.694
observe and document information
in a lawful manner,

16
00:00:59.694 --> 00:01:03.168
protect privacy, civil rights,
and civil liberties

17
00:01:03.168 --> 00:01:07.670
avoid collecting and reporting on activities
protected by the US Constitution

18
00:01:07.670 --> 00:01:09.892
and federal and state laws

19
00:01:09.892 --> 00:01:14.056
ensure that information is
as accurate as possible.

20
00:01:14.056 --> 00:01:18.747
Only by fostering trust will we achieve a
level of cooperation that will maximize

21
00:01:18.747 --> 00:01:22.803
our ability to keep our communities and
our nation safe and secure from

22
00:01:22.803 --> 00:01:24.538
crime and terrorism.

23
00:01:24.538 --> 00:01:29.105
Additional training on the importance of
privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties

24
00:01:29.105 --> 00:01:33.452
protections in American law enforcement and
public safety can be accessed through the
