Frank R. Baumgartner1 March 5, 2014 Executive Summary A statistical analysis of Grand Rapids Police Department stops of individuals for trespassing on commercial business property with a No Trespass Letter over a three-year period yields the following key findings: • Blacks are considerably more likely to be stopped by the Grand Rapids Police Department than are Whites. While Blacks are approximately 21% of the population, they represent 59% of those stopped. • The disparity between stops of Blacks and Whites is particularly strong when we look at stops initiated by police officers, as opposed to those stemming from citizen complaints. Over 70% of those stopped at an officer’s initiative are Black, as compared to under 30% for Whites. By comparison, the percentage of Blacks and Whites stopped based on citizen complaints is roughly equal. • Stops of Whites are more likely to produce contraband and to be charged along with other offenses than are stops of Blacks. • Blacks are significantly more likely than Whites to be arrested, rather than ticketed, following a trespass stop on commercial business property, with Blacks being arrested 63% of the time and Whites being arrested 50% of the time. • The best estimate of the increased likelihood for Blacks being arrested, controlling for other legally relevant factors, is 2.2 times greater likelihood, compared to Whites.
