Through a series of public records requests with police departments ranging from small midwestern towns to New York City, we’re gathering data on evidence collection policies and untested kits throughout the United States. We’ve found some glaring inconsistencies along the way, and we believe it’s important to expose all of this. It is impossible to end the backlog without knowing its full extent or the laws that work to create it. With your help, we can work toward achieving this.
Your support will pay for fees associated with obtaining these documents and for the hours of reporting after they are released.
