Reports and Data

Oregon STOP Report

House Bill 2355 (2017) mandates all Oregon law enforcement agencies to submit data regarding officer-initiated traffic and pedestrian stops to the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission, so the Commission can analyze the submitted data for evidence of racial or ethnic disparities on an annual basis. The Oregon Statistical Transparency of Policing (STOP) Program, housed at the Commission, was created along with the Oregon State Police and the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST). This is the fourth annual report to the Oregon Legislature by the STOP Program examining data received pursuant to HB 2355. This is the first STOP report to include two years of data from all Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 agencies.

To examine the traffic and pedestrian stop data acquired by the STOP Program for racial/ethnic disparities, STOP Program researchers utilized three methods. The first method, which is used to examine the initial decision to stop an individual, was the Decision to Stop analysis. The second analytical method employed by the STOP Program is the Stop Outcomes analysis. Finally, the STOP Program utilized the Search Findings analysis, which compares relative rates of successful searches (i.e., those resulting in the seizure of contraband) across racial/ethnic groups.

To determine if disparities identified in this report warrant additional in-depth analysis and/or technical assistance from the DPSST, STOP Program researchers reviewed the results of each of the three analyses conducted on the STOP Program data. For each individual analysis, an estimated disparity must meet the 95 percent confidence level for it to be statistically significant. Further, following best practices, for a law enforcement agency to be identified as one requiring further analysis as well as DPSST technical assistance, it must be identified as having a statistically significant disparity in at least two of the three analytical tests performed on the STOP data. The Lake Oswego Police Department was not identified as having a statistically significant disparity in any tests performed on the STOP data this year.

Annual Report

Each year, the Lake Oswego Police Department presents its annual report to the City Council to report on the activities of the department over the last year. Our goal is to make the department’s activities more transparent and build trust with the community. The presentation discusses staffing at the agency and covers the number and types of incidents and calls for service LOPD officers respond to, the number and types of traffic violations cited, elements of the Oregon STOP report discussing who was stopped, the department’s Behavioral Health Specialist, Use of Force, and officer complaints.
