This month, we're co-hosting a meetup with our friends at Open Austin, we hope you'll join us!

EXACT LOCATION
ACC Rio Grande Campus, Room 3328

ABOUT THIS SESSION
We're demo'ing one of our Civic Digital Labs products, the National Police Data Index.

The Index is now live. It's a searchable database built to help defense attorneys and civil rights attorneys quickly research law enforcement officers and agencies. Use it to look up an officer or agency and see relevant accountability records - such as use-of-force incidents, shootings, complaints, and related case-linked information - organized in one place so you can move faster from intake to strategy.

Speaker: Darrell Malone, founder of National Police Data Coalition
