Accountability for police misconduct is behind a paywall in Colorado — we tear it down.

Blue Surveillance is a nonprofit that supports accountability of police misconduct through reporting, research, and public awareness. By acquiring relevant public records through costly and time-consuming requests, we have created a freely accessible central database to assist in overcoming the public’s limitations in budgets and staff resources.

Database

One-stop shop of all publicly accessible information, reports and documents about any law enforcement official that commits an offense requiring notification to the public by the state — and any other misconduct we find. Searchable, filterable, and free to use.

Database

Transparency

Information at Blue Surveillance is either public record or public-facing. We request public records ourselves so you can trust they are authentic and unmarred — except potential redacting if an agency failed to do so.

Tools

We have a host of tools available for reporters, researchers, policy-makers, advocates and anyone else who cares. All are made by Blue Surveillance, and all listed are free to use.
