Our Criminal Law & Justice Center helped launch the California Police Records Access Project, a new database containing information about use of force and misconduct by California law enforcement officers. The nation’s first of its kind, the database contains about 1.5 million pages obtained from nearly 12,000 cases that the public can search. A team of journalists, data scientists, lawyers, and civil liberties advocates developed the project, which will shed light on how law enforcement agencies in California handle misconduct allegations and uses of police force resulting in death or serious injury.
