No more buried reports. No more deleted databases.

Officers with misconduct records move between departments undetected. The public has no easy way to know who is patrolling their streets or what those officers have done. PoliWatch changes that by putting the record where it belongs — in public hands.

The federal database was deleted The National Police Misconduct Reporting Project — the only national database — was shut down. We rebuilt it from public records and citizen submissions.
Officers transfer without accountability Without a public record, officers with documented violations start fresh at new departments. This database makes that impossible.
Your submission becomes permanent Every citizen report is timestamped and published. Once in the record, it cannot be altered, buried, or deleted by anyone.
