JEFFERSON CITY, MO. -- Attorney General Chris Koster continues to promote a new website to provide people with the racial data on traffic stops in Missouri.
The new site provides the information collected from more than a million traffic stops by officers from more than 600 police agencies.
In the past, the information was only available by reading cumbersome printed reports.
The data has been collected each year for a decade.
“For the first time, all ten years of the reporting data are searchable through an accessible means,” Koster said.
This year's report reveals a continuing disparity in traffic stops between white motorists and people of color.
Koster said that does not necessarily indicate that officers are unfairly profiling Blacks and Hispanics.
The graph below shows information about racial disparity in traffic stops from five mid-Missouri police departments.
