In 2001, the Saint Paul Police Department began collecting data on traffic stops as part of an agreement with the Saint Paul Chapter of the NAACP. Over the past 16 years, the department has used a data collection system to gather information on over 700,000 traffic stops. This data presents the number of stops and searches of individuals and their vehicles including demographic information. Traffic stop data will be updated and presented on an annual basis.

• Total number of traffic stops
• Traffic stops by race and gender
• Driver searches by race and gender
• Vehicle searches by race and gender
• Reason for stop (New in 2017)

The maps and graphs being shared on this site are the Police Department’s best effort to show and understand the data that has been collected. While reviewing the information, please note:

• Graphs and charts are created using raw data
• Data reflects traffic stops originating in the City of St. Paul
• Race is based on officers’ perceptions
• Fields indicating “No Data” may be due to:
- Age data is only collected when a citation is issued
- Reason for stop data was not collected before 2017
- Technology changes over time
- Technical errors
- Lack of available information

To better understand how the data reflect officers’ day-to-day activities, please click on the maps below. It may be helpful to see where most of the calls for service originate, where traffic crashes occur and in which grids stops are made.

This data was provided by the St. Paul Police Department and contains all available information relating to bike and pedestrian crashes in St. Paul. As part of its commitment to improving pedestrian and bike safety, the city of St. Paul began aggressively tracking bike and pedestrian crashes in 2016. Data comes from traditional sources such as the State of MN Police Crash Report System and police reports. It also comes from social media, community conversations, police calls (911 and non-emergency) where no report was made, and other non-traditional ways to verify that a crash occurred. By collecting this level of detail for every pedestrian and bike crash in St. Paul, we are hoping to find patterns and answers to help us reach our goal of reducing the number of crashes and improving safety for all residents and visitors of St. Paul.
