In addition to ensuring that the data collection is being driven by the intent of addressing systemic inequities, it is essential for BIPOC communities to be integrally involved in the planning and implementation of data collection strategies to ensure that data is gathered in a culturally safe manner and to mitigate against data misuse that causes harm to BIPOC community members. [...] The collection, use and dissemination of the data must be grounded in a rights-based framework that is consistent with principles of data sovereignty and ownership by BIPOC communities. [...] A BIPOC Working Advisory Council was established to guide all aspects of data collection planning and implementation, and was part of the review and approval process prior to the dissemination of reports. [...] The collection, use and dissemination of the data must be grounded in a human rights approach that is consistent with the principles of ownership, control, access, and possession (OCAP®) of data outlined by the First Nations Information Governance Centre. [...] The collection and reporting of race based data must be undertaken within the existing police budget and should not be used as a justification to further increase the WPS budget.
