Built for law enforcement, RIPALog's intelligent-prompting app makes it fast and easy for officers to collect up to 40+ racial, identity, and stop data items - in the field, at the time of the stop, in just 2 minutes. Don't slow down your reporting with cumbersome web forms – take advantage of the phone in your pocket, and let the RIPALog native mobile app zip you through the reporting process fast! Command staff can use our Agency Portal to review and approve logs, and recognize training opportunities using visualizations of demographic data like age, race, gender and more. Use our service to enable immediate visualization of your data on your agency or city website. The app makes sure all data is collected in compliance with California RIPA (Racial and Identity Profiling Act) statute AB 953. Stop data is formatted and automatically sent directly to the DOJ for you. Zero IT resources needed. Although designed for California, the RIPALog app is flexible enough to satisfy the needs of any law enforcement agency interested in collecting this data.
