Your truthful answers will put you on the right path! Because your story is unique, your survey responses will help us guide you in a direction that's best for you. Your case might qualify to match you with an attorney in our network. But if it's not a good fit for our lawyers – we will help you in other ways. For example, we'll help you file your complaint with the right investigative agency and publish it on OpenPolice.org. So no matter which path we recommend, you'll build a professional report to share your story with the world. That's an excellent way to advance police accountability and justice in your community!

We will help you organize everything that a lawyer needs to help you. You might not know it, but some information you publish could hurt somebody's legal case. That's not what we want to happen, so you should share your complaint with a lawyer first. Later, you can file it with a police investigative agency. After you complete your complaint, you can save it in three ways ... Print it Download it Email it For your protection, we will delete your story from our system. But we will preserve some anonymous data for police accountability researchers. After you've checked with a lawyer – or any charges are resolved – you can re-upload your complaint. That will publish your full story and file it with a police investigative agency. Remember: The more details you share, the better we can match you with a lawyer.

Based on your survey responses, here's what we recommend. We recommend that you... file your complaint with a police department investigative agency AND publish your complaint on OpenPolice.org. (We can help you do both things.) Because your incident did not involve police use of excessive force – we do not recommend seeking an attorney to sue the police. Unfortunately, few skilled attorneys will take on new police misconduct lawsuits. And the ones they accept generally involve severe injury or death.
