filing database, while indicating that the number of falsified records could possibly reach 58,553. They found that the fake records reflected more infractions for white drivers and fewer for Black and Hispanic motorists.
The report outlined how the falsifications by state troopers and constables compromised the accuracy of racial profiling data, which the state collects annually. It also acknowledged that investigating the motives for the fabrications was not part of the audit.

After the audit’s release, Griffin’s office said it was launching an investigation into “the information received recently through the academic report” but declined to comment further on the nature of the inquiry or whom it involved.
The state investigation was expected to coincide with another pending inquiry, conducted jointly with state police, surrounding the four troopers.
Lamont then announced that he was appointing Deidre Daly, formerly a federal prosecutor under President Barack Obama, to investigate “how and why the misconduct occurred, why it went undetected for so long and what reforms should be implemented to ensure that such misconduct does not reoccur. ”
State legislators on the judiciary and public safety committees also held a meeting to gather more information.
At the legislative forum, the official overseeing the state police, James Rovella, said his agency had complied with a subpoena from the federal Department of Transportation, who is also conducting an investigation. DOT investigations, separate from the DOJ, typically “involve crimes with a public safety impact, procurement and grant fraud schemes that significantly impact DOT funds, consumer and workforce fraud, and employee integrity violations.”
In rare public remarks last week, Griffin said it was in early July when the DOJ asked the state to halt its own investigation so the feds could take over.
“You can’t have two cooks in the same kitchen working off the same cookbook, and so DOJ has to take the lead on it,” Griffin said in the interview with WTNH. “And as the chief state’s attorney, I concurred with that decision.”
