WADEPS brings together information that historically has been scattered across hundreds of state agencies with no standard for storage, sharing, or comparison. WADEPS also integrates contextual data about law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve to provide a more complete picture of the reportable use-of-force and police-community interactions across the state.
The WADEPS public dashboards provide common tools for communities, law enforcement agencies, and policymakers to examine reportable police use of force with unprecedented detail and discover meaningful insights.

Important to Remember
Achieving full participation will take time. WADEPS processes help reduce duplicate work and provide agencies flexibility for implementation. However, agencies of all sizes across the state can face practical constraints, including leadership changes, limited IT resources, staffing for data entry, and other organizational complexities.
Data quality audits are in progress to identify duplicate records, standardization issues, improper use of the “other” data fields, and similar irregularities.
