Louisville Metro Police Chief Steve Conrad said a report released Friday looking into officers' potential bias when making traffic stops “provides no definitive conclusions" on racial profiling.

But, he added that “there are areas of concern.” 

Included in those “areas of concern” is the higher rate at which African American residents stopped by police are searched, which, at 13.7 percent, is nearly double that of white drivers (7.6 percent), according to a report.

Hispanic drivers stopped by police are searched 9.2 percent of the time.
