Description
The City of Cincinnati is seeking a qualified firm to conduct an independent review and analysis of the Cincinnati Police Department's contact card data and associated reporting practices. The selected firm will be responsible for evaluating and presenting findings supported by available evidence, including trends, patterns, and outcomes related to police-community interactions.

Key aspects of the project include:
• Analyzing contact card data and related datasets to identify trends, patterns, and outcomes
• Evaluating prior methodologies, benchmarks, and disparity analyses
• Comparing Cincinnati's practices and outcomes to relevant benchmarks and best practices
• Providing an objective assessment of the available information and data
• Maintaining analytical independence throughout the study
• Submitting a draft report and a final report, including an executive summary, detailed methodology, and findings
