MILWAUKEE - On Thursday morning, the City of Milwaukee's common council was to learn race-based information collected by Milwaukee Police during traffic stops.

The department was to present a report to the Milwaukee Common Council Public Safety Committee.

A city ordinance requires officers to continue collecting race information of people involved in traffic stops.

A similar state law has been repealed.
