Delete Subject fails GNG and NCORP. All the source material I could find was ROUTINE (police activity in the news, complaints against the police), as this article relies on the subject's website. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:05, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is a major police department. It is notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PaulinSaudi (talk • contribs) 14:10, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A search turned up a racial profiling incident (here and here) which seems to pass WP:ORGCRIT: A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. In addition to those, we can also add this trivial mention. Putting aside for the moment all of the primary sources cited, we can also add to the above a few other references already present in the article, such as this (trivial) and this one that does go into some detail about statistics.

Keep. I added text to the article (under History section) about the racial profiling incident. @StonyBrook - thank you for the sources for that. Let's keep the article up. -Hannahthom7 (talk) 17:59, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Reasonably large police department and no rationale given for deletion in any case. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:56, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
