The Missouri Attorney General’s Office released the annual vehicle stops report, an aggregation of data covering all vehicle stops in the state of Missouri in 2020. The AG’s office is statutorily required to produce a report on the state’s vehicle stops per SB 1053, enacted in 2000.

The vehicle stops report aggregates 2020 stop data from 590 agencies across the state of Missouri.

The office has been working to implement several changes to the vehicle stops report, and the way that the data is collected.

While there are some changes that can be seen in this year’s report, including some residential zip-code comparisons, the full changes will be reflected in next year’s report.
