1 Table of Contents ● Executive Summary ● Introduction ● Racial Disparity 2018 ● Racial Disparity Trend 2015-2018 ○ All Motor Vehicle Stops ○ Arrests ○ Citations ○ Warnings or Field Observations ○ Searches ● High versus Low Discretion Searches and Race/Ethnicity ● Racial Profiling ● Austin Metro Population vs City of Austin Demographics Analysis ● Austin Commuter Data Analysis ● APD Racial Sector Analysis ○ Concentration of Motor Vehicle Stops Resulting in Arrests and 2018 Warnings and Field Observations across APD Sectors ● Recommendations ● Summary ● Appendix 1 ● Appendix 2 2 Executive Summary The Office of Police Oversight, Office of Innovation, and the Equity Office engaged in data analysis to understand how various ethnic/racial groups in Austin experience Austin Police Department (APD) motor vehicle stops. The report examines APD motor vehicle stop data from 2015-2018 and offers recommendations where disproportionality exists based on race/ethnicity. In summary: ● Data reveals racial disparities in motor vehicle stops in 2018, with Black/African Americans as the most overrepresented of all racial/ethnic groups in Austin. ○ In 2018, Black/African Americans made up 8% of the Austin population, 15% of the motor vehicle stops, and 25% of the arrests. ● Black/African Americans and Hispanic/Latinos are increasingly overrepresented in motor vehicle stops from 2015-2018. White/Caucasians are increasingly underrepresented during the same time period. 1 ● Data from 2018 shows that Black/African Americans are disproportionately overrepresented in cases when their race is known by officers before the stop compared to cases when their race is not known before the stop. ○ APD classifies motor vehicle stops based on whether the race of the person stopped was known to the officer prior to the stop. In 2018, Black/African Americans are overrepresented in both Race Not Known and Race Known categories. In the Race Not Known category, Black/African Americans make up 14% of stops (this is a 6% overrepresentation compared to their share of the Austin population). Black/African Americans are further overrepresented when their race is known before the stop, making up 17% of stops in the Race Known category and indicating a 9% overrepresentation when compared to their share of the population. ● Commuting habits cannot explain the disproportional representation of Black/African Americans in motor vehicle stops. Commuting habits are similar across race. ○ The differences in the commuting habits of racial/ethnic groups in Austin would likely not explain the overrepresentation of Black/African Americans in the …

Their joint report on the Austin Police Department’s traffic stop data represents another brick in the path toward inclusive diversity and equality for the citizens of this city, and it has given our Department a valuable opportunity to view the inter-agency partnerships and collaboration are essential prerequisites for ameliorating the inequalities that have beset our city since it was established. The Austin Police Department has consistently and unequivocally acknowledged that racial disparities are prevalent throughout many aspects of our city, including police enforcement actions. Accordingly, the Department has readily taken the following steps to address the disparities within our purview over the past five years: issue from an alternative perspective. Strong Collaborated with the Center for Policing Equity to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the racial disparities manifested in the Department’s enforcement actions. The report was the first to apply the National Justice Database’s independent analytic framework to police data made available through President Obama’s Police Data Initiative: Measuring Fairness in the Austin Police Department Embraced transparency by publishing enforcement data in the City’s open data portal: All Data & Curated Datasets Published annual racial profiling and use of force reports: Racial Profiling & Response to Resistance Instituted implicit bias training for all sworn personnel and new recruits Implemented more robust accountability mechanisms and worked with the Office of the City Auditor to improve the effectiveness of those nascent processes: Body-Worn Camera Audit Contracted with Dr. Alex Del Carmen, an expert on racial profiling and discrimination, to regularly audit the Department’s racial profiling data to ensure accuracy in collection and reporting Hired a Development and Training Manager with a doctorate in psychology and expertise in cross-cultural perspectives to develop and execute curriculum review strategies and assess teaching and learning methodology at the Training Academy: Statesman Editorial Partnered with community stakeholders and justice advocates to enact critical policy changes pertaining to use of force …
