As part of an ongoing project to understand social media’s growing place in our law enforcement’s surveillance and public service mission, MuckRock has been soliciting your input about the cities and states where we should be looking, either because there’s a particular concern about the way it’s currently handled or to just make available the policies that are in place.

So far, nearly 300 people have contributed their local law enforcement agency or school to our growing, ongoing collection.

  • Small Red - No Responsive Documents
  • Large Red - Rejected
  • Small Yellow - Awaiting Acknowledgement
  • Orange - Fix Required
  • Small Green - Partially Completed

Add your town or college, too, and we’ll submit for its policies and contracts related to monitoring and participating in online activity.
