Theme: Problem statement 2 - transparency

Brief description of your idea: Policies on how officer behavior problems are handled differ between jurisdictions. Citizens could be informed about how their local agency's policies compare to other jurisdictions. This would allow citizens to give informed feedback to local politicians about how policy should be changed.

What makes your idea unique?: There isn't really any way to compare policy today without manually obtaining information and comparing it directly.

What would be the impact of your idea if implemented?: Improved awareness of policy decisions, better transparency about how policy.
