The public records requested are exempt from disclosure and will not be provided.  The City asserts the following exemptions to disclosure:
Incident specific stops data is exempt per ORS 131.935 (6) - Data acquired under this section shall be used only for statistical purposes and not for any other purpose. The data may not contain information that reveals the identity of any stopped individual or the identity of any law enforcement officer. Data collected by law enforcement agencies or held by the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission under this section that may reveal the identity of any stopped individual or the identity of any law enforcement officer is exempt from public disclosure in any manner.
https://www.portland.gov/police/open-data/stops-data is a link to what is publicly available regarding PPB stops data.
I waived the fee for this request.
Pursuant to ORS 192.329(2)(b) the City now considers your request fulfilled and it will be closed.  Please note, messages sent on closed requests will not be monitored.
Ability to Appeal:
If you were denied the right to inspect or to receive a copy of any public record of the City of Portland you may seek review of the public body's determination pursuant to ORS 192.401, 192.411, 192.415, 192.418, 192.422, 192.427 and 192.431.
