Monroe Commons
Welcome to Monroe County District Attorney's Office Commons
Commons is a community-driven tool created by Measures for Justice that helps shape criminal justice policy.

Co-created
Working with Community Advocates and the District Attorney’s Office
When the public, police, prosecutors, and courts share and trust the same data, those data become the common ground for reform.

The dashboard is a very useful tool to help digest large data sets. It is clearly organized and highlights the important information to help users make informed decisions.

Data should not just be collected — it should be shared and used to improve outcomes. Through our collaboration with Measures for Justice and the Commons dashboard, we are making our work more visible and creating opportunities for informed community dialogue. This tool helps ensure that our office continues to evolve, guided by facts, fairness, and a commitment to serving Monroe County with integrity.

Commons was made possible with the dedicated support of the Community Advisory Board (CAB). This CAB represented the public's voice in Monroe County and they worked closely with the District Attorney's Office to bring Commons to life. The CAB's role was essential to the platform's development in helping determine what information was important to the community. They provided critical insights throughout the platform's creation, including input on the data shown, policy goal selection, recommendations of additional data collection opportunities, and so much more.
