The Bellevue Police Department on Thursday launched an online transparency and accountability dashboard that tracks crime data, use of force incidents, and other information about the department.
The site is “designed to help strengthen trust between the police department and the community,” the department said on its blog.
The site contains crime statistics and explains the use of force. Each reportable incident is analyzed by the level of force, the reason for officer contact, and the demographics of the subject and officer.
Information on the dashboards can be filtered by demographics, crimes, arrests, location, date, and more, according to the department. The data is refreshed every 48 hours.
“We are happy to share this police data with our community members so they can become more aware of public safety issues and partner with us to develop solutions to make our community safer,” said Chief Wendell Shirley. “The public can log onto this new website and see real-time statistics and crime trends and be able to analyze the data that impacts them.”
