Byrnes Mill Police Dept
I would like to address the accuracy of the information being provided on our police departments vehicle stop re- port. First, our total city population listed for 2020 is 2341 in the Vehicle Stop Report. According to the website https://datausa.io/profile/geo/byrnes-mill-mo our population in 2019 was 2970. That is well over a 20% difference in population which I feel would significantly change our numbers in the listed Rates category. Second, our total listed Black population for 2020 is 0. I can't find contradictory information on any website but know that we have at least 12 Black residents in our city. I also know that this number will not have much impact on our numbers listed in the Rates category but wanted it noted none the less. Third, our city is traversed in its entire length by a heavily travelled 4 lane divided state highway. This highway produces a large majority of our citations, searches, and contraband hit rates from traffic stops and traffic crashes.
