An Act relative to the establishment of minority recruitment and selection program

This bill requires all law enforcement agencies in Massachusetts to create minority recruitment and selection programs aimed at increasing diversity within their ranks. The Attorney General will establish guidelines for these programs and monitor their progress, while agencies must annually report demographic data on applicants and hires to track results. Each agency is also required to publish this information on its official website, and the Attorney General will release an annual summary of the programs' outcomes to the governor and legislative leaders.
