Reprioritization of Traffic Stops Intervention Study

The goal of this project is to produce a report describing the feasibility, mechanisms, and processes of reprioritizing a police department’s traffic stops to focus more on improving traffic safety outcomes and equity in traffic stop rates. It involves conducting a systematic literature review of reprioritization as an intervention, interviews with individuals involved in a previous and successful effort to reprioritize traffic stops in Fayetteville, North Carolina, interviews with police chiefs and police executives, and a final report. This final report will synthesize all previously collected data and discuss the feasibility of reprioritization in general..
