Training on Obtaining Information from DC MPD
Dear neighbors,
A fellow journalist is organizing a community conversation/training session at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 12 about getting information from the Metropolitan Police. I thought it might be of interest to some. Speakers include:
● Amy Phillips, DC public defender
● Mitch Ryals, reporter, Washington City Paper
● Michael Perloff, ACLU of the District of Columbia
● Catherine Young, DC resident who has struggled to piece together information from the
police shooting in 2018 of her son D’Quan Young
● Miranda Spivack, journalist and open government expert, D.C. OGC board member,moderator

This is the second in a series of free open government trainings that will continue through the fall and winter, and focus on how to locate a range of information such as criminal justice data, social services data, and data from multi-government and multi-state agencies. Please come prepared with your questions about the best ways to get information from DC's police department. We look forward to seeing you at Digging into DC!
