Investigator Meetup: Uncovering and challenging patterns of police misconduct

Investigators play a crucial role in uncovering and challenging patterns of police misconduct. We will discuss strategies for finding police misconduct data, the impact of misconduct data on defense cases, and how investigators can leverage new technologies to uncover misconduct.  This session will introduce Techtivist, a groundbreaking platform designed to assist investigators with tracking and using police misconduct records effectively.

Julie Ciccolini is the CEO of Techtivist, a software firm empowering defenders to track law enforcement misconduct. Her innovative police accountability software has prevented wrongful convictions and sparked nationwide reform.  Her work at The Legal Aid Society, Human Rights Watch, and National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, contributed to overturning 13 problematic policing laws and the largest per-person settlement for a mass arrest in history. A sought-out subject matter expert on police accountability, her work has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, New Yorker, NPR, and CNN.
