About this organization
Mission
We are a journalism production company on the South Side of Chicago. We work to enhance the capacity of citizens to hold public institutions accountable. Among the tactics we employ are investigative reporting, multimedia storytelling, human rights documentation, the curation of public information, and the orchestration of difficult public conversations. Our work coheres around a central principle: we as citizens have co-responsibility with the government for maintaining respect for human rights and, when abuses occur, for demanding redress.
About
Citizens Police Data Project CPDP - CPDP takes records of police interactions with the public - records that would otherwise be buried in internal databases - and opens them up to make the data useful to the public, thereby creating a permanent record for every police officer. The Organization utilizes its CPDP tool to present the underlying police data. In order to maximize the CPDP program coverage and effectiveness, the Organization makes the codebase for the CPDP tool and all underlying datasets plus data processing scripts and FOIA responses available to the public through the Organization's website.
