When the public, police, prosecutors, and courts share and trust the same data, those data become the common ground for reform.

Data is a key part of building trust between law enforcement, the district attorney's office, and the public. If there are metrics in the data that raise questions, especially along the lines of racial disparities, it's important to call the authorities on the carpet. It's so important to be able to see problems and make changes based on data.
Larry Love, Pastor, Woodland Christian Church

The Commons data portal allows people from every part of our county to have instant access to accurate information about our local criminal justice system. Let's use this transparency and open data to facilitate new conversations and drive the best possible outcomes for the people of our community.
Jeff Reisig, Former District Attorney

Any conversation about criminal justice between the powers that be and the community at large, is destined to be politically and emotionally charged. And yet, this discussion is one of the most important of our time. This offering acknowledges real policy and system change MUST be grounded in facts, that data fuels a truthful narrative and lays bare the impact and carriage of justice in this moment - for better and for worse.

It's important to have honest information about what's taking place behind the closed doors of the D.A.'s office. This is a process—being transparent, shifting paradigms, it's a huge undertaking and a step in the right direction.
Kara Hunter, Executive Director, Yolo Conflict Resolution Center

This opportunity for the community to get more involved with the D.A.'s office is wonderful. The more information we have, the better.
