White/Caucasians are increasingly underrepresented during the same time period;” “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.;” and “While African Americans have the largest disproportionality, Hispanic/Latinos have similarly concerning trends, and APD should work to bring these disparities to zero in the same timeframe.”; WHEREAS, the Office of the City Auditor Impact of Community Policing Efforts audit, dated May 2020, found mixed results when they reviewed how APD’s efforts have affected APD’s relationship with the community, and state “One possible reason why the results of APD’s community policing efforts have been mixed is that community policing efforts address issues of culture, trust, and confidence both within APD and between APD and the public. Recent issues suggest there are deeply rooted challenges APD must face to create a department‐wide culture that is fair, impartial, and procedurally just, which APD states it is aiming for in its community policing policy.”; and “While APD’s community policing efforts since 2016 appear to have helped establish a foundation to support community policing goals, APD must address these issues and then continue to build on the foundation they have built to produce the change that they and the community want.”; WHEREAS, the audit report’s APD Employee Survey shows more …
