The Richmond Police Department has just completed an analysis of data collected over several years by officers that document their interaction with members of the general public; specifically Field Interview Reports (FIRs) and traffic stops which shows a balanced approach to the process.

The study looked at thousands of FIRs and traffic stops conducted over several years. It took several months to re-program the Department’s Records Management System (RMS) so reliable data could be collected.
