Barneys says it will start monitoring the police as they monitor shoppers in its flagship Manhattan store.
An internal Barneys memo sent to its security staff Tuesday said the store would start keeping a log of which police officers use its security room. The memo, obtained by The Associated Press, said Barneys would maintain video and audio surveillance.
The memo also said that any officer using the room shall provide “a reasonable description of the individual . . . that they wish to place under surveillance.”
It comes after two black shoppers said they were racially profiled at Barneys earlier this year.
