You have just been appointed the Commissioner of Police for the city of New York. You know that there is a credible threat of terrorism and you must develop a policy that officers can follow to momentarily stop individuals, ask them some pertinent questions and then lightly frisk them to determine if they are concealing a weapon. You also know that the former police commissioner was strongly criticized for his stop-and-frisk policies, and the federal courts ruled they were unconstitutional because officers

engaged in stop and frisk with a large number of black and Latino residents and far less white or Asian residents. Nonetheless, such a policy is an important tool in the fight against terrorism.

In no less than 200-words, describe how you would craft a new policy that allowed officers to determine if individuals were plotting terrorist acts or carrying concealed weapons.
