Richmond Heights Police Dept
The Vehicle Stops Report compares the race of drivers in all traffic stops made by a police agency to the racial makeup of that agency's population. Richmond Heights' African American population is under 9% of the total population of the City. Richmond Heights borders a major metropolitan city with a near 50% African American makeup while residing in a county with nearly a 25% African American population. It stands to reason that our Department's disparity index is mathematically skewed by this.
