On page 6 of the audit cited by the Portland City Commissioner: [URL]https://www.portlandoregon.gov/auditservices/article/677598[/URL] "The Bureau has not recently analyzed the Gang Enforcement Team’s stops data nor publicly reported results. The Bureau only has a brief analysis for 2015, which removed Gang Enforcement stops from the data analysis, and an analysis of gang suppression operations from 2011." Our analysis of demographic data collected by the team shows that its stops largely affected African Americans. Of the 1,300 encounters recorded by the team in 2016, the Police Bureau has demographic data for about 800 traffic stops. Fifty-nine percent of these traffic stops were of an African American person.
