# Police Open Data

- **Website:** <https://policedatainitiative.org>
- **Primary alias:** `policedatainitiative.org`

## Description

The Police Data Initiative is a community of practice focused on using open data to strengthen collaboration between communities and law enforcement. It promotes data sharing as a way to support joint problem solving, innovation, public understanding, and accountability. The initiative brings together more than 120 local law enforcement agencies that have identified data sets of importance to their communities, including information on accidents, calls for service, complaints, hate and bias crimes, officer-involved shootings, stops and arrests, use of force, and workforce demographics.

The website serves as a central directory for participating agencies and their open or soon-to-be-open data. It also offers practical resources such as technical guidance, best practices, success stories, how-to articles, news, and publications about open data and policing. Agencies can sign up to participate, while community members can nominate their local law enforcement agency. The initiative encourages transparency and public engagement, with the aim of helping agencies and residents work together to support public safety and community satisfaction.
