Our Data

Our Data is Transparent

Every figure published here is sourced from public records, court filings, and state agencies like the CJSTC - never estimated or inferred. We hold that data to the same standards of scrutiny we apply to JSO itself.

How we hold our data to a standard

Accuracy

Every figure on this site is drawn directly from primary source records - CJSTC filings, public records requests, and court documents - and checked against the original document before publication.

Completeness

We track what's missing as carefully as what's present. Gaps in the public record are noted rather than papered over, so readers can tell the difference between "zero cases" and "no data available."

Timeliness

Datasets are re-pulled and republished on a regular cadence, and pages note when their underlying data was last refreshed so you always know how current a figure is.

Consistency

The same officer, agency, or case is represented the same way across every page and chart on this site, so figures can be compared directly instead of reconciled by hand.

Uniqueness

Records are de-duplicated before publication - the same case reported by multiple sources, or resubmitted across data pulls, is merged into a single entry rather than counted twice.

Data Relevance

We publish the records that matter to police accountability in Duval County - discipline outcomes, use-of-force incidents, and public complaints - not just what's easiest to collect.

Every claim links back to its source

Anywhere on this site you see a dotted underline, it's a citation, not just a link. Hover over it to see what the source is, when it was published, and when we accessed it. Click it and it opens the original document - the CJSTC final order, the arrest report, the court filing - in a new tab, so you can check our work against the primary record yourself.

For example, hover over to see a citation card, or click it to open the source.
