Committee asks police for neighborhood-level traffic citations and crash data
Summary
Council member Mark Jeffries asked the Cincinnati Police Department to provide traffic-citation and crash data overall and by neighborhood for 2026 with a four‑year lookback; the chair endorsed the request and moved the item forward for passage with no vote recorded in the transcript.
Council member Mark Jeffries moved that the Cincinnati Police Department provide traffic-citation data and crash statistics, overall and broken down by neighborhood, for 2026 with a lookback over the previous four years.
Jeffries cited recent numbers when describing trends: he said there were three traffic fatalities last year, six the prior year and 15 the year before that, and he listed serious-injury counts of 35, then 45, then 66 across the same period. “So there were 3 fatalities, which is always horrible,” he said, and argued that enforcement plays a role alongside other safety efforts.
Chair Scotty Johnson agreed that traffic enforcement contributes to public safety and said traffic stops can prevent crime. Johnson said he would move the item forward for passage; the transcript records no roll-call or vote for this item during the meeting.
The transcript does not include a CPD presentation or a staff timeline for receiving the requested data; the motion appears to be a request for information rather than a directive that changes enforcement policy or budgets.
