Welcome
This is a guide for using the Police Data Access Point and associated tools, and contributing data or code.
What we do
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.
Codebase
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.
Primary repositories
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.
