For tracking purposes, all traffic stops ended with a disposition of either "Warning" or "Citation." Warnings are issued <br />either verbally or in writing at the time of the stop. Most citations are written and issued to the subject at the time of the <br />stop; however, some are issued via Formal Complaint after the fact. For example, if a person is detained on suspicion of <br />driving under the influence and a blood or urine sample is collected, the individual would be booked, released, and then <br />charged via Formal Complaint if the lab results come back positive. The data in this report include both immediate and <br />delayed charges in the "Citation" disposition. <br />Most traffic stops (83.6%) resulted in a warning for the driver. The chart below shows the warning -citation ratio by stop <br />type. Proportionally, the number of citations issued as a result of investigative stops was higher than the number issued <br />as a result of either vehicle violations or moving violations. <br />100% <br />90% <br />80% <br />70% <br />O <br />60% <br />030% <br />4 <br />40% <br />a 30% <br />20% <br />10% <br />0% <br />Citations & Warnings Issued by Type of Stop, 2019 <br />n=4123 <br />9-1-1 / Citizen <br />Figure 3 - Citations & Warnings Issued by Type of Stop <br />■ Warning ■ Citation <br />Investigative Vehicle Violation <br />Type of Stop <br />Movi ng Viof ation <br />Officers have only two options available to them to record the sex of the driver during a stop: male and female.
