PUBLIC DISCUSSION
In response to the Board's inquiry at the last meeting
concerning data collection on race-based traffic stops, Lt.
Johnson stated it is the Chief's intention that data be
collected for a year prior to any analysis of that data

additional reports until that year has gone by. What the
Chief is involved in now is attempting to find somebody
who is willing to crunch this information and draw
