SOUTH JERSEY (KYW Newsradio) — The New Jersey Office of the Attorney General unveiled a new online dashboard that makes it easier to search through police internal affairs data.
The information was already available online, but oftentimes it has been cumbersome to sift through statewide data.
The new dashboard is highly customizable and gives users options to filter the information they’re seeking. People can hone in on locations, types of alleged infractions or racial demographics.
Officials say this is the first dashboard of its kind in the country, and they anticipate it will be an invaluable resource for police accountability.
Gov. Phil Murphy said transparency, fairness and mutual respect are foundational to building trust between police and the people they serve.
