Question 1 - Total number of traffic stops: This will reflect the total number of vehicles stopped by officers in your agency for alleged motor vehicle violations, whether moving violations, equipment violations, or license violations for the period from August 28, 2000 (the effective date of the law) to December 31, 2000. This total would not include vehicle stops made for reasons other than alleged motor vehicle violations.

For purposes of this question, the location means the location where the officer observed the alleged violation and signaled the driver to stop, not the location where the driver actually did stop.

Question 9 - Traffic stops resulting in searches: For all stops made, indicate the total number of searches made, along with the following: 1) number of searches of drivers; and 2) number of searches of property. One stop may lead to a search of the driver and property (whether the vehicle itself or property inside the vehicle) so the breakout of the searches may exceed the number of stops resulting in searches.

For any search, one or more of these categories may apply. Example: the basis for a search may include the odor of drugs and a drug dog alert.

Question 11 - Duration of search: For all searches made, indicate the number of searches lasting: 1) from 0 to 15 minutes; 2) from 16 to 30 minutes; 3) 31 minutes or longer. The duration of a particular search means the amount of time needed to conduct any and all searches described in Question 9.

Question 12 - Traffic stops leading to discovery of contraband: For all searches made, indicate: the number of traffic stops in which contraband was discovered.

Question 13 - Type of contraband discovered: Indicate the number of times each of the following types of contraband were discovered: a) Illegal drugs/Drug paraphernalia; b) Currency; c) Weapons; d) Stolen property; or e) Other.

For this question, each arrest may result in more than one alleged crime/violation.

Pages 2-7 - Breakdown of Annual Report by Race/Minority Status: These attachments provide the same information as the total stop report but broken down for each of the following race/minority groups: 1) White; 2) Black/African-American; 3) Hispanic/Latino; 4) American Indian/Alaska Native; 5) Asian; and 6) Other/Unknown.

The total number of stops for pages 2-7 should equal the total of number of traffic stops reported by the agency on page 1 of the report.
