San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee signed into law Wednesday a measure that requires input from the community about the police department’s participation with the FBI on a joint terrorism task force.

The Safe San Francisco Civil Rights Ordinance came out of concerns that the FBI’s anti-terrorism task force with the help of local police profiles certain ethnic groups, particularly Arab Americans.

The measure signed by Mayor Lee stipulates that the police commission must hold hearings prior to any formal cooperation agreement.
