One overlooked item in the ALPR debate: Flock and others had the good fortune of scaling up in the middle of a massive drop in crime that was *already happening.* They've been taking credit for a pre-existing trend. https://t.co/aeSJrUGxXt

Grateful to be in Philadelphia to celebrate the passage of the VICTIM Act and @Arnold_Ventures grant to help more agencies become eligible for funding. @PhillyPolice have homicide clearance rates up to 80% and nonfatal shootings at 40. More work to do but on right track.

[Arnold Ventures @Arnold_Ventures]

Today, Arnold Ventures announced a $1 million grant to the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency to help more local agencies take advantage of the newly enacted VICTIM Act and strengthen efforts to solve violent crimes.

Thank you to @AustinDavisPA, @RepHarris, @RepTimBriggs, @SenatorPicozzi, @PPDCommish, and local leaders for advancing this work.

Automated record sealing is helping remove barriers, and new research shows why strong implementation matters.

[Council on Criminal Justice @CouncilonCJ]

OUT TODAY: A new CCJ report finds that crime rates in 36 large American cities continued to fall in the first half of 2026, with homicides down 18% from the same period in 2025. Explore the full analysis from co-authors @Ernesto_LopezJr and Bobby Boxerman: https://t.co/XH6zCqDoFv

[The Clean Slate Initiative @CleanSlate_Init]

⚙️ Virginia's Clean Slate Act has entered its implementation phase.

Starting last week, eligible Virginians gained access to new pathways to record sealing for the first time in the Commonwealth's history.

[Right On Crime @RightOnCrime]

Millions of Americans rely on banking services every day, and too many people returning from incarceration are left behind.

Expanding access is good for business, good for reentry, and good for public safety ⬇️

The Sixth Amendment guarantees that juries—not judges—determine the facts necessary to impose criminal punishment. In Mizrahi v. United States, we urge #SCOTUS to restore the jury’s historic role in criminal forfeiture cases.

We applaud the commitment to #SecondChanceMonth and hope this will help lead to removing the barriers that keep millions from rebuilding their lives.

We also urge further action to expand opportunity, reduce recidivism, and make second chances a reality.

We celebrated Second Chance Month with our event "Unlocking America's Workforce: How Clean Slate Legislation Strengthens The Economy"

Policy experts spoke to congressional staff on how lawmakers can take the lead on economic growth by supporting second chance legislation

[Due Process Institute @iDueProcess]

The Senate should reject a “clean” reauthorization of Section 702. Forcing it through without real reform ignores years of bipartisan concern and leaves warrantless searches of Americans’ data untouched. Congress must protect both security *and* civil liberties.

Read our alert:

[Due Process Institute @iDueProcess]

"Section 702 is so vast that it incidentally collects Americans’ information... Some of these AI systems, they can essentially track where you’re coming, where you’re going, where you work, political affiliations." - Vice President @pye
