street: The data was collected from 2005 to 2016, according to CTV. Over that 11-year span, nearly 37,000 individuals were street checked, some on multiple occasions. Close to 20 per cent of people being street checked are visible minorities. Of those, 4,100 people - or 11.08 per cent - were identified as black, in a community with a black population of about four per cent. It doesn't mean there is any type of criminality; it normally is location or time of day specific. When an officer feels there is some level of suspicion or something going on, they then record that observation or interaction in what we call a street check form, says the Deputy Chief of Halifax Police Bill Moore.
