NEW <br />B1;IGHT014 _ <br />NEW BRIGHTON DEPARTMENT OF <br />r <br />PUBLIC SAFETY &RE5� <br />s„ <br />Memorandum <br />To: Public Safety Commissioners <br />From: Tony Paetznick, Director of Public Safety <br />Subject: Traffic Stop Data Collection Review <br />Date: December 8, 2020 <br />Returning to the topic of traffic stop data collection that has annually been reviewed by the <br />Commission since such information was first made available from 2017, we will resume <br />discussions on December 14th that were initiated at our September 14, 2020 meeting. <br />This process continues as part of the agency's commitment to the community in listening to <br />concerns from residents about local law enforcement and leading organizational responses to <br />the issues raised especially during the summertime months regarding police reform. As you <br />know, the Public Safety Commission was asked specifically to review the traffic stop data <br />collection performed by the New Brighton Department of Public Safety. <br />In order to further facilitate this dialog for Commissioners and consistent with our department <br />mission to educate New Brighton, please find attached to this cover memo example reports <br />from other Ramsey County municipalities on their respective approaches to reporting on this <br />collected traffic stop data. These include: <br />- Saint Paul Police Traffic Stops by Police Grid January 1— December 31, 2019 map <br />- Roseville Police Department 2019 Traffic Enforcement Report <br />- Maplewood Police Department 2019 Community Information Report (traffic stops <br />specifically on pages 19-23) <br />The aforementioned documents are offered to foster further discussion on any additional ways <br />that the City of New Brighton could report its similarly collected traffic stop data. <br />Like our Use of Force policy review, additional items for consideration related to traffic stops <br />can also be found on the City's LISTEN web page dedicated to openness and transparency of <br />policing in New Brighton. Commissioners are encouraged to reference and review <br />https://www.newbrightommn.gov/listen as well in preparation for these discussions. <br />
