The Transparency Project

Problem Space

There is not a large database of national information around police precincts, number of complaints against officers, or transfer rates. The accountability for officers that transfer to avoid consequences is very low and this website would strive to highlight officers with high transfer and high complaint rates and arm local citizens with contact information to the governing bodies in their area that can have an impact on that precinct.

User Requirements

• Reliable information/database
• Easily usable and navigable
• Ability to investigate high transfer departments
• Ability to investigate precincts with high complaints
• Access to relevant contact information
