Ottawa Police have collected more than 60,000 traffic stop entries a year after the launch of a program to promote bias free policing.

A new report on the Race Based Data Collection, released Thursday to the Ottawa Police Services Board, counts the program a success.

Insp. Pat Flanagan, who is responsible for the project, said the collection means Ottawa police “can continue its commitment to bias free policing and have meaningful dialogue about racial profiling concerns.”

Since June 2013, officers at traffic stops have recorded their perception of the driver’s race. They also collect age and gender along with stop details like the date and location, reason for stop and its outcome. More than 81 per cent of all recorded traffic stops have all eight fields filled out, the report said.

The two-year project came out of an agreement between the Ontario Human Rights Commission and the Ottawa Police Services Board.

“It’s about building a project that will produce accurate, meaningful and measurable data, and more importantly, have the confidence of our members and the communities we serve,” said Flanagan in a news release.

The report calls it the largest study of its kind in Canada, and the data will be made public in 2015 when the two-year project is over.
