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.For more information, please visit the city of Saint Paul's website: https://www.stpaul.gov/departments/police/pedestrian-and-bike-crash-data-city-st-paul

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. The department uses a data collection system to gather information about all traffic stops made by its officers.

This data includes:

• 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 (available starting in 2017)

The maps and graphs on this site are the police department’s best effort to show and understand the data. While reviewing the information, please note:

• Graphs and charts are created using raw data

• Data reflects traffic stops originating by St. Paul Police Officers

• Race is based on officers’ perceptions

• Fields indicating “No Data” may be due to a variety of factors, including:         

  - 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

The Saint Paul Police Department works hard to protect the peace and maintain public safety through trusted service with respect. Every day, officers from a variety of units interact with people in the City of Saint Paul. As part of their day-to-day duties, officers can issue three types of citations:

• Criminal citations

• Traffic citations

• Parking citations

The following data show the types of citations issues, total number of citations issued each year since 2015, demographic information about those who received citations and the location of where the citations were issued. 

Please note:

• The dataset includes a significant number of fields where no data is available.

• “No Data” fields represent parking citations where the illegally parked vehicle was unoccupied, thus making it impossible for the Saint Paul Police employees to record demographic information.

• Prior to 2016, the State of Minnesota did not require police departments to document the race of people to whom citations were issued. 

Making these data available publicly is part of the Saint Paul Police Department’s ongoing commitment to building trust with its community through transparency.
