We're a 501c3 non-profit corporation as of August 15, 2021. We came into being as an entity (Delaware C-corp) in December 2020. We have enough donations to keep the lights on.
Right now our focus is on documenting an end-to-end proof of concept of our vision for for a small geographic area.
Isn't the scope of this project too big?
We've been hearing that since the very first day, and decided to try anyway.
Since late May 2020, our online population peaked and declined. After some iteration, a core group of 4β8 long term members has been keeping the project moving with the contributions of a rotating talent pool of volunteers.
How are we planning to grow?
We become more effective as we scale each of these services.
βCollection is the group of automated and manual processes that legally gather police data.
βStorage must be archival, verifiable, and secure.
βStandardization normalizes information into a unified format for access at scale.
βAccess is anything between a direct download and API web hooks.
