Transparency in Connecticut Traffic Stop Data
Â
Spanning a decade of traffic stop data—from 2013 to 2023—the Connecticut Racial Profiling Prohibition Data Project provides a clear view into policing practices across every district in the state.
Â
The Alvin W. Penn Racial Profiling Prohibition Act of 1999 prohibits law enforcement in Connecticut from stopping, detaining, or searching any motorist solely based on race, color, ethnicity, age, gender, or sexual orientation. Still, some traffic stops today continue to raise concerns about bias.

Developed in partnership
with the Institute for Municipal and Regional Policy (IMRP), our datasets include demographic trends, geographic distribution across towns, and enforcement practices. Explore the data through our
