Grantees at the Lens in New Orleans collected thousands of documents to explore how fast and how much the New Orleans Police Department has expanded its surveillance – and how little the community knew about it. With support from the Fund, the team spent a year investigating and creating a multipage, interactive data story looking at the tools used, the costs, the legality and the future of digital policing within New Orleans, and what this could mean for other smaller cities across the United States. This is the first comprehensive and expansive investigation to track, identify and document the amount of technology and software used by the City of New Orleans.
