Records Request regarding a 6 year old Bias-Free Policing contract with UC
Zinser Public records request 6.28.26
UC Proposal on Bias Free Policing Analytical Framework
Bias-free-update-memo-20201125 UC
I have previously reported that the city contracted with the University of Cincinnati, Institute of Crime Science, in or around February 2019. The project was called, “Developing an Analytical Framework for Assessing Bias-Free Policing in the City of Cincinnati.”
The model would address criticism in a 2017 report from the former court-appointed monitor of the Collaborative Agreement who was brought back to assess the city’s progress on the Agreement.
I have been unable to find any documentation about the project after 2020, so I have submitted a records request to try to determine what happened to the contract and the project?
According to the November 2020 “Update Memo posted below,” UC anticipated a final report on or around March 1, 2021. There were 4 PhDs on the project with extensive credentials.
I have posted the records request and documents from the University of Cincinnati above. I will let you know what happens.
