TRAFFIC PRIORITIES One of the top priorities of the Roseville Police Department is to ensure traffic enforcement serves roadway safety by focusing on driving conduct that contributes to motor vehicle collisions. Moving violations that create a safety risk for other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians are also the most frequently voiced concerns of residents. Consistently, over 80 % of traffic stops in Roseville have been for moving violations each year. In 2021, the Roseville Police Department conducted a complete review of all department policies and procedures. We recognized that traffic enforcement based solely on equipment violations disproportionately impacts communities of color and undermines law enforcement's legitimacy. As a result, we released an updated traffic policy on August 1, 2021, better reflecting Roseville's values and commitment to racial equity. In creating our new policy, we relied on input from our Multicultural Advisory Committee and other diverse voices of our community. Under the new policy, absent other factors, the Roseville Police Department will not enforce equipment violations, expired registrations, or other non- moving violations that do not create a public safety concern or a dangerous condition. Since 2017, mobile speed boards have been utilized to remind motorists of their speed in an effort to improve safety in Roseville neighborhoods. The department currently deploys five boards, rotating locations based on citizen input and officer observations. In 2022, speed boards were deployed fifty times across the city for a combined total of 1,188 deployment days. On January 12, 2023 the Roseville Police Department launched a new program to reduce the number of vehicle violation stops. Instead of initiating a traffic stop when an officer notices a vehicle violation, the violation is documented and the department mails a letter to the driver notifying them of the violation and providing them with a waiver to amend it. In the first quarter of 2023, the department has sent out 547 letters. In addition to alerting owners of the violation, information is also provided on obtaining a Lights On voucher to fix the equipment violation or information on obtaining financial assistance to renew their tabs. The warning letter pilot program is possible through support from the Ramsey County Attorneys Office, Lights On, Diversion Solutions and the Saint Paul and Minnesota Foundation. In 2023, the Roseville Police Department's traffic enforcement efforts will continue to focus on roadway safety, with an emphasis on curbing distracted driving, excessive speeding, street racing/exhibition driving, and impaired driving. We will continue our collaboration with the Ramsey County Traffic Safety Initiative, which is a grant funded initiative to improve safety on Minnesota's roadways. The Roseville Police Department has been committed to raising awareness about implicit bias in an on -going effort to provide fair and impartial service to the community. This priority is explicitly noted in multiple department policies. Both on paper and in practice, RPD strives to provide unbiased policing and enforce laws in an equitable manner. One way the Roseville Police Department works to provide unbiased policing is through ongoing implicit bias training for all department staff. Minnesota statute 626.8469 which requires law enforcement agencies to provide in-service training in "recognizing and valuing community diversity and cultural differences to include implicit bias". Each year, all Roseville officers and staff are required to complete implicit bias and diversity training. In the wake of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis, RPD formed the Multicultural Advisory Committee (MAC) in the summer of 2020. The goal of the committee is to bring diverse community representatives together to discuss community -policing concerns, strategize ways for RPD to best engage with the community, and share information about police practices and procedures. The MAC will also review traffic reports annually and provide perspective and feedback on reporting practices. Traffic stop data continues to be helpful in having informed conversations with the Roseville community about racial disparities in the criminal justice system and providing a better understanding of how traffic laws are being enforced in Roseville and Ramsey County. The Roseville Police Department will continue to take a comprehensive look at the data annually to see what conclusions can be drawn from the information collected and use those conclusions to ensure we provide fair and impartial service to the community. The Roseville Police Department welcomes feedback from citizens regarding the results of the traffic stop initiative, as well as any concerns or suggestions about how the police department can improve overall service to the community.
