Stopping members of the community for traffic enforcement, or any other reason, based solely on race, 种族, 宗教, sexual orientation, 国家的起源, socio-economic background or gender is illegal, unconstitutional, unprofessional 和 inconsistent with the values, ethics 和 ideals of the police profession 和 the College.
What type of data is collected?
We are committed to transparency by collecting, analyzing 和 publishing field 和 traffic stop data.

- Citizen request for service-A citizen contacts MCC's Police Department either by phone or flagging down an officer 和 requests them to investigate a situation involving a person. Either the person is pointed out by a citizen or a physical description is provided to the officer(s) by the citizen.
- Officer initiated-An officer while on duty identifies circumstances that result in stopping an individual to conduct a further investigation of the situation. The legal st和ard for initiating a stop is a minimum of reasonable suspicion.
