This is a guide for using the Police Data Access Point and associated tools, and contributing data or code. |
We're cataloguing sources of data in a database at https://pdap.io so people can find information about local police systems. Here's our app roadmap.
Our github organization contains our code repositories. We have a handful of apps working in conjunction to identify, collect, document, archive, and share sources of data.
- The Data Sources App repo is the back end for our Data Sources API.
- The pdap.io repo is our primary interface for working with the API.
- The Data Source Identification repo houses our code for collecting sources for the database.
