Partnership
For Newsrooms and Investigative Reporters
Use PoliceConduct.org as a working public-record resource when a story needs faster source organization, better context, and a clearer view of what the current record actually shows.
How We Can Help
We can help a newsroom assemble a scoped records brief around a department, officer, incident, or local accountability issue by organizing relevant site entries and linked public sources into a single working summary.
- Investigative or public-interest reporting teams.
- Editors who need a scoped records brief, not a product pitch.
- Stories where context across multiple records matters.
What we can help with now
The value is practical: gather what is already public, clarify how it connects, and reduce the time it takes to understand the record.
Record review
Source gathering
- Pull together relevant site entries and linked public materials.
- Flag obvious gaps that still require independent reporting.
Context
Pattern review
- Show related reports, personnel, agencies, and civil cases in one place.
- Help distinguish one incident from a broader pattern when the record supports it.
Working output
Scoped brief
- Prepare a short summary of what the current record appears to show.
- Keep the brief narrow enough to be useful in an active reporting cycle.
What partnership looks like
- Tell us the reporting question, geography, and deadline.
- We respond with a scoped plan for what records or site data we can help organize.
- We do not replace reporting, legal review, or editorial judgment.
If you are working a story and want to know whether we can help assemble a records brief, send the newsroom, topic, and deadline.
