Racist & Bias Incident Response Team Process

    When an incident is reported, it is sent to the Special Assistant to the Chief Safety Officer (CSO), along with the Co-Chairs of the Racist and Bias Incident Response Team. This group reviews and triages each report to determine the best next steps.
