Equity and Law Enforcement Data Collection Use and Transparency Webinar

The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and BJS announced the new report, Equity and Law Enforcement Data Collection, Use, and Transparency. On May 25, 2022, President Biden signed the Executive Order on Advancing Effective, Accountable Policing and Criminal Justice Practices to Enhance Public Trust and Public Safety, which mandated this report as part of the Administration’s efforts to ensure our criminal justice system embodies fair and equal treatment, transparency, and accountability.

This webinar provides the first public briefing about the report and its findings. It features a discussion with Denice Ross, U.S. Deputy Chief Technology Officer, and BJS Director Dr. Alex Piquero, co-chairs of the working group, who discuss the report findings and key recommendations for state and local leaders, law enforcement, researchers, and others in the police data ecosystem.
