From The Office of The Chief of Police:
“Today, the Connecticut Racial Profiling Prohibition Project released an initial report totaling almost five hundred pages. This initial report, with data collected from every Connecticut community and the State Police, represents a compilation of raw data relating to 360,000 traffic stops occurring statewide over an eight month period. As stated in the Executive Summary found at the front of the report, this data is in no way dispositive of a particular problem or a lack thereof. A supplemental report expected in 2015 will include professional analysis using valid statistical measures and models from which some educated conclusions may be drawn. It is wholly irresponsible to view or report on this data in a manner the report itself cautions against.
