The problems outlined in the report focused on two issues within the police force; lack of "sufficient" numbers and distrust from the black community. This distrust is the main focus: expressing how the black community felt unsupported and discriminated against by the police force.

One situation that showcased this lack of support involves 'Kin Lumpkin' who was a black man who was going home from work when he was beaten by a mob. The policeman arrested Lumpkin for the charge of rioting, no other arrests were made.

The report clearly highlights the effects of discrimination displayed by police against black people, and how because of this there is distrust between the communities. The last sentence of the whole report states, "This seeming discrimination in arrests naturally deepened Negro distrust and lack of confidence in the police." Despite there not being any notable solutions hinted at or given, we can assume as readers that since the report's point is so clearly addressed, the solution must be the stopping of discrimination.
