Citizens Police Data Project CPDP - CPDP takes records of police interactions with the public - records that would otherwise be buried in internal databases - and opens them up to make the data useful to the public, thereby creating a permanent record for every police officer. The Organization utilizes its CPDP tool to present the underlying police data. In order to maximize the CPDP program coverage and effectiveness, the Organization makes the codebase for the CPDP tool and all underlying datasets plus data processing scripts and FOIA responses available to the public through the Organization's website.

Youth/Police - This program aims to build conversations with black teens about how their lives are affected by the character of the police presence in their neighborhoods. The program presents how teens describe their interactions with police in their own words, how those encounters make them feel, and how their experiences with the police shape their behavior.

Legal & Outreach - The program provides legal support and public strategy for ongoing work to make police records available to the public, including support for Freedom of Information Act requests and lawsuits.
