Factors that may have an impact on Manchester's “Vehicle Stops” report to the Attorney General: Manchester has numerous retail districts which employ hundreds (if not thousands) of people from across the area. These districts bring thousands of shoppers from across the Bi-State region. The 6.5 miles of Manchester Rd, Hwy. 141 and Big Bend are heavily traveled feeder routes. The race and gender of this large group of visitors is unknown. The corresponding effect on this report is also unknown. Moreover, the department recently discovered an issue with the software used to track vehicle stop data. Although it is believed the stop rates are close to the actual numbers on a percentage basis, the total number of stops is likely incorrect. We will update these numbers once the issue is resolved.
