   Presentation of Demographic Disparity Analysis for the Richfield Police Department

   The City Council received and considered a November 2022 demographic disparity analysis prepared by Police Strategies LLC for the Richfield Police Department. The report concluded that, using activity-based benchmarks, there was no evidence of systemic biased policing or racial profiling by the department, while noting that aggregated data could not rule out isolated individual acts of bias. The report also recommended additional data collection, dashboard reporting, and a community survey to support future monitoring and reform efforts.
