A more open California...

Being "Smart on Crime" means measuring our effectiveness in the criminal justice system with data and metrics. OpenJustice is a tool that embraces transparency and data in the criminal justice system to strengthen public trust, enhance government accountability, and inform public policy. This initiative puts forward a common set of facts, data, and goals so that we can hold ourselves accountable and improve public safety.

The California Department of Justice is proud to join with many in the law enforcement community to make our work more transparent.

Sincerely,

Signature of Kamala D. Harris
