Overview
- The Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office made the dashboard publicly available at baltimorecity.prosecutiondata.org to show how cases are charged, handled in court, and resolved.
- The system includes filters for defendant demographics such as race and gender and publishes case-level summaries dating back to 2018.
- Key data fields for juvenile cases and repeat-offender status are not yet included and the office says those features will be added in future updates.
- The project was funded in part by a $775,000 federal appropriation to modernize the State's Attorney's Office and was developed with prosecution-data partners.
- Ivan Bates framed the dashboard as a transparency and accountability tool to respond to community concerns about bias and to let the office monitor prosecutorial decisions and reasons for dismissals.
