Independent Review and Analysis of CPD Contact Card Data

The City of Cincinnati seeks an independent consultant to conduct a comprehensive review and analysis of the Cincinnati Police Department’s “contact card” data and related reporting practices.

The effort is a one‑year, no‑policy‑prescription engagement emphasizing objective, data‑driven insight. • Review and clean CPD contact‑card datasets and associated crime, arrest, and geographic data. • Independently validate prior methodologies, conduct statistical analyses, and produce disparity findings. • Benchmark Cincinnati’s data and practices against external municipalities and academic research, delivering a final report, executive summary, and presentation by the contract end.
