We do not document whether a citizen who has been cited was a non-motorized bicyclist. We capture time, date, location, charges, person cited, court date, and vehicle, (if there was a vehicle). We do however report monthly to the North Carolina Department of Public Safety per NC GS 143B-903. Below is a website you can access to retrieve statistical data such as:
1. Drivers and Passengers Searched by Sex, Race and Ethnicity
2. Enforcement Action Taken by Driver’s Age
3. Enforcement Action Taken by Driver’s Sex, Race, and Ethnicity
4. Initial Purpose of Traffic Stop by Driver’s Age
5. Initial Purpose of Traffic Stop by Driver’s Sex, Race and Ethnicity
6. Initial Purpose of Traffic Stop by Enforcement Action Taken
7. Initial Purpose of Traffic Stop by Physical Resistance Encountered
8. Type of Search by Basis for Search
Please note that Traffic Stop Statistics will be available to the public 30 days after the close of the prior month. Also note that an agency’s traffic stop data may be low or non-existent for any given month due to the nature of that agency’s law enforcement resposiblities.
