Arrest or Use of Force Data Analysis

Some law enforcement agencies struggle with accusations of racially biased activity with regard to arrests or use of force. These accusations are usually in response to a high-profile incident and often fail to examine the general tendencies of your agency’s behavior. A proper analysis examines the racial and ethnic characteristics of persons arrested or involved in use of force encounters and compares these characteristics to those who are legitimately at risk for arrest or use of force. Working with your agency, our team’s analysis uses advanced research methods for analyzing your arrest or use of force data and compares these data to appropriate benchmarks, such as crime victim descriptions of criminal suspects when examining arrests, or persons who engage in violence towards the police when examining use of force incidents. Our analysis gives your officers the most fair and unbiased examination possible.
