Data and transparency can be a key tool for prosecutors’ offices looking to show policymakers and the public the impact of their work. The City of Toledo Prosecutor’s Office partnered with our Prosecutorial Data Collaborative to do this and has launched a public dashboard.

As of summer 2025, three new sites in the Great Lakes region have joined the Prosecutorial Data Collaborative to build the infrastructure and culture necessary to effectively use data in their offices, courtrooms, and communities.

The ACDAO receives thousands of incident reports from police agencies to review for prosecution each year. This is the first public interactive view into that consequential work. The initial release of the dashboard provides detailed information on case referrals and cases filed.

For the first time in Snohomish County’s history, this collective data allows for a holistic picture of the functioning of the local criminal legal system, from the point of initial contact with law enforcement through the disposition of a case.

The Law and Justice Dashboard, developed for Snohomish County in partnership with CUNY ISLG, is one of the first in the nation to combine both law enforcement and prosecutor data to provide users a better understanding of affected persons’ involvement in the law and justice system.

The research presented in ISLG’s newly released report, Justice in Decision-Making: Studying Racial & Ethnic Disparities in the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office, represents a crucial first step towards developing a more holistic understanding of where racial and ethnic disparities exist in the Brooklyn District Attorney’s (DA’s) Office. This report is the culmination of a years-long partnership between ISLG and the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office and highlights the value of these types of collaborations and what can be learned from them.

The new Manhattan DA will be responsible for advancing justice on a broad scale. We outline a core set of principles related to fairness, trust, and community safety that can help the next DA get there.

Along with Brooklyn's District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, we announced a Data and Transparency Initiative that will improve the Office of the DA’s ability to track and analyze its data, allowing for better evaluation of prosecutors’ decision-making, enhanced transparency, and an increased ability to assess the effectiveness of its policies. The partnership represents an important step in fulfilling the recommendation of DA Gonzalez’s Justice 2020 Committee to “establish a data/analytics team to drive metrics, best practices, and reform.”
