Racial profiling in traffic and pedestrian stops is a major concern for the public and advocacy groups. In order to better understand stops and searches occurring in Illinois, the Illinois legislature passed the Illinois Traffic and Pedestrian Stop Statistical Study Act requiring police officers to record demographic and stop data for those pulled over. In addition, the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority was named to convene a Task Force to review the methods for compiling and analyzing this data. This article provides a brief summary of suggestions to enhance how traffic and pedestrian stop data are used in the state. An attached full report provides more detail on the 19 total recommendations developed by the Task Force. Although it is recognized that the needs of communities and law enforcement may ultimately differ, improving the quality of criminal justice data is a first step in restoring trust in law enforcement.
