Join NACDL’s Full Disclosure Project to hear about our new resources for tracking law enforcement misconduct. We've compiled our best practices for beginning or improving your processes of tracking police misconduct data. We’ll cover hidden places to look for data, how to create a feasible collection plan, and effective systems for organizing your data. We’ll show approaches from the advanced and involved to the low-tech and simple - so you can apply these methods with whatever resources you have.
The Full Disclosure Project aims to disrupt the culture of secrecy that systematically and pervasively shields law enforcement misconduct by changing police secrecy laws and empowering the defense community to track police misconduct.
Express your interest in the Full Disclosure Project. There’s no commitment and there are no right or wrong answers. As capacity allows we will follow up to schedule a demo, assess the suitability of your organization, and invite you to apply to participate in our Full Disclosure Project. Decisions will be made based upon the information you provide.
