To ensure fair trials the Supreme Court of the United States created the Brady doctrine obligating the prosecutor of every case to investigate, gather, and disclose all information about any individual upon whose testimony they will rely.
The District of Columbia Brady List is the definitive public-facing platform of record for information about officer misconduct, decertification, public complaints, use-of-force reports, do-not-call listings [Giglio letter], and more potential impeachment disclosures.
This platform is available as-a-service to all Peace Officer Standards & Training [POST] Departments, Prosecutors, and Law Enforcement Organizations [LEOrgs].
