City Manager’s Report
TO:HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: "CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT: POLICE
DATE:MAY-6, 2002 CMR:223:02
SUBJECT:QUARTERLY REPORT ON DEMOGRAPHIC DATA
COLLECTION (PROFILING)
This is an information report. No Council action is required.
DISCUSSION
On September 10, 2001, the Police Department submitted its first quarterly report of
demographic data on police contacts to Council These reports were the result of a commitment
on the part of the Police Department to voluntarily initiate a program of data collection on all
police contacts, not just car stops as many departments across the nation have done. (Ref.
CMR: 145:00 and CMR:350:01)
While the policy of data collection has remained in place, the events of September 11t~ and the
attendant re-assignment of police resources to security functions, training and coordination of
efforts with outside County, State and Federal authorities delayed submittal of the subsequent
reports until now. The attached reportS cover the first and second quarters of Fiscal Year 2001-
2002.
A critical element of the Police Department’s data collection program is the analysis of the
collected data. A select working group consisting of both community members and police
department staff will be meeting on May 8th to review and interpret the Department’s first full
year of data.
RESOURCE IMPACT
None.
