Avenue Easthampton, MA 01027 Councilor Rothschild, Myself and Westfield State University would be pleased to partner with the City of Easthampton and the Easthampton Police Department (EPD) to expand data collection, analysis, and reporting efforts. We believe that this work is crucial to increase transparency, data accessibility, and build police-community trust. Openness in data can also foster community engagement and shed light on opportunities for improvement and advancement. In this partnership, we will assist the City of Easthampton and the EPD in soliciting community input regarding research questions and metrics of special interest. We will also aid the EPD in building capacity to collect, analyze, and publish data to ensure that it is openly available to the public. We plan to offer long-term support in these data collection tasks and we will help make information about internal and external police operations easily accessible via online dashboards and clear, comprehensive annual reports. We view this partnership as a valuable way to support and strengthen our local communities in Western Massachusetts. This collaborative relationship will also provide our undergraduate and graduate students with opportunities to assist data collection and analysis, and it will underscore for them the value of police transparency and community engagement. We very much look forward to and value the opportunity to work with your City on this important initiative.
