2016 first Quarter Demographic Analysis April 21, 2016
The percentage of subjects stopped by race is as follows;
Hispanic 50.0%; White 24.3%; Black 13.9%; Asian 5.6%; and Other 6.2%.
The majority of traffic stops were made in the Southwest District (37.6%), followed by Northwest District (25.0%) followed by Southeast (19.5%) then Northeast District (18.0%). The most frequent reason cited for traffic stops was hazardous moving violations (50.4%), followed by non-hazardous moving violations and vehicle equipment violations both at (19.7%). Less than 1% of the traffic stops are for DCB entries. The demographics for Daily Crime Bulletin (DCB) wanted subjects were as follows;
Hispanic 52.0%; Black 26.4%; White 17.8%; Asian 1.9%; Other 1.6%; and Unknown .04%
Approximately 10.5% of traffic stops resulted in the vehicle being searched by officers. After comparing Fresno’s demographic breakdown of traffic stops per district and reason for the traffic stop, it appears there are no trends that are out of the normal range at this time.
The data reflected in the current DDC report should be reviewed to determine what modifications, if any, should be made to the program to enhance its effectiveness. Currently, Traffic Section and Patrol Division traffic stop data is combined and cannot be differentiated when reviewing the report.
