Open Policing Project

The Open Policing Project is a research initiative that collects and shares data on police stops and encounters across various U.S. cities. Its goal is to promote transparency and accountability by analyzing patterns related to police behaviors, decisions, and disparities. By providing access to detailed, anonymized information about stops, searches, and citations, it helps researchers, policymakers, and the public better understand policing practices and identify areas for reform. Ultimately, the project aims to foster fairer, more equitable law enforcement through increased public insight and oversight.
