Decertification and Beyond: Using Police Misconduct Records Databases
About this Event
Join us for Decertification and Beyond: Using Police Misconduct Records and Databases to Advance Accountability, a timely discussion about how California’s police-transparency and decertification laws can be used to uncover misconduct and strengthen accountability.
Our panel of attorneys, advocates, journalists, and directly impacted family members will examine how records released under Senate Bill 1421 have exposed patterns of excessive force, deputy-gang involvement, and other serious misconduct. Panelists will also discuss California’s officer-decertification system under Senate Bill 2, the practical challenges of obtaining and analyzing police records, and how this information can support litigation, reporting, advocacy, and systemic reform.
The program will include a live demonstration of the Police Records Access Project database by Tarak Shah, Sr Data Scientist at Human Rights Data Analysis Group, followed by a panel discussion moderated by Professor Priscilla Ocen, Co-Director of Loyola Law School’s Anti-Racism Center.
