5. The six-letter disposition code must be entered in the exact sequence as listed as
above and without any commas (or other marks) between the letters.
6. It is important that the clearance of the call be recorded separately from any other
police activity:
If the call vehicle or subject stop results in any additional police
action (such as an arrest), an additional separate call must be
initiated and cleared independent of the vehicle or subject stop call.
Whenever a second call is initiated, the officer must connect the
two incidents by listing the traffic or subject stop call number in
the “MI” comment area of the second call.
The officer should clear the traffic or subject stop call as soon as
reasonably possible in order for all new information to be
connected to the correct new call.
7. Special Circumstances: Overtaking/Pursuits without a vehicle stop, stopping
suspect vehicles or individuals related to open calls:
C.
When an officer engages in overtaking or a pursuit and the vehicle
is not finally stopped, it does not qualify as a “vehicle stop” for the
purposes of this program. An attempt to stop a vehicle that turns
into a pursuit shall be cleared “change to investigation, clear #6).
An officer stopping a suspect vehicle or individual related to an
open (dispatched) call should carry that stop as part of the open
call, and not as a traffic or subject stop.
An officer that stops a subject because they witnessed an offense
would open a call based on that offense and this program would
not apply.
The information in each report shall be analyzed and compiled in a report that
covers the period January 1 through December 31 of each year, and shall be
submitted to the Mayor and City Council no later than March 1 of the following
year. Each such report shall include:
1. a comparative analysis of the information compiled by each officer under
414.05A (1)-(8) to:
determine the prevalence of racial / bias-based profiling by peace
officers employed by the City; and
examine the disposition of traffic and subject stops made by
officers employed by the City, including searches resulting from
such stops; and
information relating to each complaint filed with the City alleging
that a peace officer employed by the City had engaged in racial /
bias-based profiling. (A 01.02.09)
2. The report required by 414.05 may not include identifying information
