Little Rock Traffic Stops

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

Pursuant to the state public and open records law, I am requesting the following records from your police department.

I am requesting the raw data of both traffic stops and pedestrian stops made by your police department and laid out in your record description for 2017 to date. The fields of data we are requesting include, but are not limited to:

•case number and complaint
•defendant gender, race, and DOB
•vehicle year, color, make, model, style, and state in which it is registered
•date of incident, time of incident, location of incident and mile post or other geographic location information.
•approximate speed and posted speed
•any violations and/or sanctions, whether a search was conducted, whether contraband was found, whether the person was arrested and what type of enforcement took place.
•officer name if available
•officer ID number,race,gender if available
To be clear, this request is for all data from traffic stops and pedestrian stops considered to be public record. This includes, but is not limited to the above list of data types if that information is collected. If the data is not collected, please let us know. If the data is collected but is not considered public record, then please cite the exemption under the law; we will happily accept partial fulfillment of this request.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Please note that I am a citizen of Arkansas, and am using MuckRock's services to help manage and track my request.

Sincerely,

Nicole Kanu
