Are you a person of color and have a story about being stopped by police?

Flatland and Kansas City PBS present a new multimedia series examining racial bias in Missouri law enforcement traffic stops. New installments will appear on flatlandkc.org each Wednesday from October 28 through November 18. The four-week Flatland series culminates with a Kansas City PBS town hall hosted by Nick Haines, airing Thursday, November 19.

Focusing on the Kansas City region, Stopped: Profiling the Police is based on 20 years of data compiled in the Missouri Vehicle Stops Report issued annually by the Missouri Attorney General’s office. The report was originally created in response to concerns voiced by Missouri citizens regarding bias in traffic enforcement and the need for greater transparency. Although two decades have passed since the statute was approved by the Missouri General Assembly, the data shows troubling trends in the equitable treatment of citizens.
