Aims to make it easier to access and analyze police data. OPD’s police data download tools provide the most comprehensive centralized public access to incident-level police data in the United States. Currently, our tools enable easy access to 425+ incident-level datasets for about 4850 police agencies. Types of data include traffic stops, use of force, officer-involved shootings, and complaints. All data is sourced either directly from police departments or state agencies or through the Stanford Open Policing Project. When data is loaded by OPD, the returned data is unmodified (with the exception of formatting known date fields) from what appears on the source’s site, and OPD provides links to the original data for transparency.
