Investigatory Stop Reports: Searches

What will you find here? 

This dashboard shows searches that resulted from investigatory stops conducted by the Chicago Police Department (CPD) by location, demographics, and outcome of the search. Details on whether or not the subject consented to the search are also included by location.  

Questions that can be answered using data in this dashboard include: 

  • How does the number of people who consented to a search differ between Austin and Jefferson Park? 
  • What number of searches resulted in a weapon or contraband? 
  • How does the number of searches compare by race in Gresham? 

Data Sources 

All information presented in these dashboards is based on data stored in CPD databases and Chicago Integrated Personnel and Payroll Systems (CHIPPS), the City’s human resources information system. Records begin January 1, 2016, and the data is typically refreshed daily between 4:00PM and 11:59PM CST. Data is current through the date of last update (listed in the top right corner of the dashboards).
