## Resource

New data from Campaign Zero reveals a shocking racial disparity in Cincinnati Police task force stops—Black residents are targeted at six times the rate of white residents, despite these units making up only a small portion of overall stops. This follows earlier findings showing systemic bias in pedestrian and motorist stops citywide. The contact card system, introduced years ago as part of police reform after tragic incidents and a lawsuit, is now being scrutinized again. Chief Public Defender Angela Chang says the numbers confirm what’s seen daily in court and calls for reviewing training and deployment policies. While task forces show the widest gap, investigative and patrol units also stop Black residents at roughly three times their population share. City officials vow to act, launching an independent third-party review and community forums to address the issue and promote transparency.
