[Lincolnparkdc] Tonight: Gov Transparency Session on DC Police Dept

[Sandra Moscoso-Mills]

Lincoln Park Friends,

Passing along an event tonight focused on brining transparency to DC's Police Department. The DC Open Government Coalition (I'm a board member) and the DC Library Association are hosting a series of events around how to open up DC government, sharing tools and resources to support folks like us in getting to a more transparent and accountable government. Hope you'll join! 6:30-7:30pm.

Interested in how to search for information from D.C. police? Worried about crime in your neighborhood? Want to access police body camera footage of an incident you witnessed?

We’re excited to bring together transparency advocates for the second session in a series of “Digging into DC” trainings to help you identify and seek almost anything you’ve ever wanted to know about police and policing in the District.

Speakers include: ● Amy Phillips, DC public defender ● Mitch Ryals, reporter, Washington City Paper ● Michael Perloff, ACLU of the District of Columbia ● Catherine Young, DC resident who has struggled to piece together information from the police shooting in 2018 of her son D’Quan Young ● Miranda Spivack, journalist and open government expert, D.C. OGC board member, moderator
