Vehicle Stop Committee

Police Chief Geoff Jones appointed the Vehicle Stop Committee on April 23, 2019. The committee addresses disparities in Columbia’s vehicle stop rates by:

1. Examining existing data.
2. Identifying variables affecting an officer’s decision to stop a vehicle.
3. Finding solutions, methods or processes to fill data gaps.
4. Setting a timeline for research.
5. Identifying policing training/best practices that should be examined for changes.
6. Reaching consensus on recommendations proposed to Chief Jones. 

The full Committee meets the second Tuesday of each month, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., in the Mezzanine Conference Room, City Hall, 701 E. Broadway. Meetings are free and open to the public.
