Find your state, city, or county
Use the search at the top of every page, or visit the Find a Location page to see a list of all locations that currently appear in the database.
Keep in mind
Not every U.S. city or county currently appears in the database, though we will be adding more locations over time.
See what we’re tracking
Population data
SOURCE: US Census API
View a city, county, or state’s population by race and Hispanic origin, and compare to similarly-sized cities in the database.
KEEP IN MIND
The Census asks about race and Hispanic origin in separate questions, so the numbers shown may not equal the total population (due to respondents identifying as both Hispanic and a non-white race category).
Full-time law enforcement staffing levels
SOURCE: Federal Bureau of Investigation Crime Data API
See how many officers and civilian staff are employed by your local law enforcement agency, and how the data compare to national averages.
Keep in mind
Not every law enforcement agency participates in this data collection, in part because the FBI recently transitioned to a new reporting system, NIBRS. National comparisons are only available at the city and state levels.
Federal grant funding
SOURCE: USASpending.gov API
Learn about your police department’s grant funding and explore the data for each grant on USASpending.gov.
Keep in mind
We are only able to track a subset of all possible funding sources—the ones we think are most likely to fund law enforcement agencies—so the true total of funding may be higher than shown. One large source of federal funding includes UASI grants from DHS. Because these are made to a region-wide entity, we have elected to allocate a region's UASI grant to the largest law enforcement entity in the region. In some locations, we conduct additional queries against recipient ID numbers, so be cautious about drawing comparisons between locations.
Military equipment transfers
SOURCE: Defense Logistics Agency, LESO public information
See excess military equipment that has been transferred to your local law enforcement agency through the 1033/LESO program.
Keep in mind
Not every police department participates in the 1033/LESO program. Additionally, the total values listed only include non-controlled items transferred within the past year—so the true historical value of these transfers is likely larger than the snapshot presented here.
Police misconduct settlements and consent decrees
SOURCE: Public reporting, collected by Thurgood Marshall Institute staff
Review police misconduct settlements by your local law enforcement agency that resulted in compensation to victims or policy changes. Also available are consent decrees that local law enforcement agencies have entered into with the Department of Justice.
Keep in mind
The amount of information available will vary widely between locations, and is based on public reporting, so this collection likely will not include all settlements.
