The Attorney General’s Office announced the launch of the Washington State Data Exchange for Public Safety (WADEPS), which is ready to collect use-of-force data from the state’s law enforcement agencies in an effort to improve transparency, trust and evidence-based policymaking. “A single location with clear, standardized and contextual information will help the public better understand the use of force in Washington. Law enforcement and policymakers will have common tools to better analyze force and make informed decisions about policing policies and practices.” – AG Brown
