OSP has already contacted the commission and plans to continue their partnership, she said. Regarding the search of Middle Eastern motorists, Bigman noted that only 35 such searches were conducted in the past two years, or 1% of all searches conducted. “We want to ensure we treat every person with respect, dignity and fairness.” “How we interact with the public and individuals we come into contact is of the utmost importance to our department,” said Bigman. She said the agency’s outcomes have improved since previous reports were issued in 20.

Stephanie Bigman said the agency’s Mandatory Violation Enforcement Policy, which mandates arrest for DUII violations and citations for certain dangerous driving behaviors, will likely reduce the discrepancy when included in future analyses. Researchers now recommend further data analysis and that state troopers seek training from the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training. Of the 143 law enforcement agencies included in the study, state police were the only one whose data registered disproportionate traffic stops on two of the three statistical models used by the commission.

The unbalanced patterns was generated using models that account for other factors such as time of day or the reason for the traffic stop.

State troopers disproportionally stopped drivers of Asian/Pacific Islander, Black, Latino, Middle Eastern and Native American descent, according to an Oregon Criminal Justice Commission analysis.Īdditionally, Native American drivers were more likely than whites to be arrested when troopers stopped them, and drivers of Middle Eastern heritage were more likely than whites to be subject to searches that turned up empty. Oregon State Police troopers disproportionately issued citations to motorists of color compared with white drivers over a one-year period, creating a statistically significant racial disparity, state researchers say.
