• OPD regularly assesses traffic violation stops
• OPD holds monthly risk management
meetings, which focus on stop data and other
risk data

ensure that officers actions are lawful, effective
and responsive
• Where disparity is evident, supervisors and
command work to determine causes and
potential mitigations
