The coalition that put it together says it is a tool for the community in cases of officer misconduct.
The Stop LAPD Spying Coalition launched a database on Friday, March 17, that makes Los Angeles police officers’ information publicly available in an attempt to hold them accountable, the advocacy group says., the database provides officers’ headshots, names, hire dates, ranks and ethnicities compiled by volunteers with public-records requests, said Hamid Khan, a full-time organizer with the coalition.
The website includes a search bar where users can type in an LAPD officer’s name or serial number, which is an employee number and different from a badge number, to get the information. LAPD declined to provide photographs of undercover officers, but it wasn’t clear if their names and other data were part of the roster LAPD released, said Matyos Kidane, another organizer with the group.
“This website is intended as a tool to empower community members,” the website states. “You can use it to identify officers who are causing harm in your community.”
