Oops, seems like Twitter is imploding 😶 Fear not, we've just finished setting up a Mastodon instance! DM us to get in - we're only allowing approved accounts for the time being. See you on the federated toot machines:

We are also going to work to make sure the lovely bots we manage (namely https://t.co/buNx0sPkWh) also make it over to Mastodon

New update to https://t.co/JEFRo0RzS5 - images can now be clicked on to see their full size (and the cropped section for the officer in question). Clicking on the image will also load a higher quality version if available. Try it out!

@ntkallday Thank you! ❤️

[TechBlocSEA @TechBlocSEA]

It's been a minute, but we're here with an update! We pushed out some changes to https://t.co/JEFRo18CU5 which will now let you search for officers by first name, and search only officers who currently have the rank/unit you're searching for. Try it out!

Amidst all the BS today, our encrypted radio tracker just got 5x bigger, so we'll have even more info on who's talking when (even if we can't hear what they're saying). If you want pics where we have them, use the badge # to search here: https://t.co/2stnAcc0j4

Today marks two years since we started this account in the middle of the 2020 uprising.

Since then, we’ve done more than 100 officer profiles, nearly 150 public records request, dozens of threads, and worked with @TechBlocSEA to make a searchable database of police misconduct

[TechBlocSEA @TechBlocSEA]

OpenOversight v1.3.1 released - Unit and Rank fields now have text search! Rather than scrolling miles and miles through the list, you can now start typing and the list will filter down to what's available. Try it out yourself!

Tired of refreshing the OPA site for case updates?

Today we've released a new tool to track open datasets published by SPD & OPA! This tool tracks newly opened and closed OPA investigations, as well as new closed case summary documents.

It's been a minute! Life has been tough for us, but we're trying to carry on where we can. We've just released an update to https://t.co/JEFRo18CU5 - you should now be able to search for incidents! Try it under "Browse" -> "Incidents": https://t.co/gtWfm3dOK1
