Calif. DOJ unveils website with law enforcement data
By Sharon Song, KRON-TV
California is aiming to improve transparency and government accountability as high profile clashes between law enforcement and the public have recently dominated the headlines and sparked a national dialogue on police practices.
The California Department of Justice is rolling out a state-run website designed to provide data on law enforcement’s interactions with the public. University of California at Berkeley professors are contributing to the site.
Attorney General Kamala Harris’ office on Wednesday announced the website which it called a “first-of-its-kind” criminal justice initiative.
