North Kansas City Police Dept
North Kansas City has a list of demographics that make it a challenge to discern meaningful data regarding racial profiling analysis. The city is only 4.5 square miles, with approximately 4,400 residents, however, 6 highways travel through the city limits carrying an estimated 200,000 vehicles a day. Furthermore, the City's daily workforce/daytime population is estimated at 35,000 people at over 1,100 businesses. There is no information regarding the race/sex make-up of the daily motorists or the workforce. In the 2021 reporting year, only 6% of the drivers North Kansas City police officers stopped were determined to be residents of North Kansas City. Due to the small size of the department, and the unique “Urban Village” description, we are not able to compare individual officer's statistics with other officers working in a similar environment. We do constantly compare our stop data with population data sources from ACS and My Sidewalk within a five-mile radius (simulated 100 sq. miles) of the City of North Kansas City. We then apply your office's formula to determine the Disparity Index for this population base. This results in

a Disparity Index closer to 1 in all categories.
