NEW BUSINESS
Police Traffic Stop Data Study
Stratton noted the memo from Horton in the packet listing his
concerns. Stratton stated that the study does not address if
there is discrimination in deciding whom to stop. Watson
said it was premature to discuss in detail but thought that the
Board should review the information when there is a full year
worth of data. Stratton stated the purpose of the Board was
to look at these issues on a complaint basis, not
Department-wide. The Board agreed to review and discuss
the one year study after completion.
