Allegheny County PA policies

[josh-chamberlain]

Request

A requestor in the Allegheny County area has requested that we help them get published policies for every police agency in the county.

Progress

We made a request to every agency in the county.

We're tracking our requests in this spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OzKy4w7Gus2eZUuVzYcnTnFrk7LwdfacS7QqYF30-t4/edit?usp=sharing

Our requests appear in the org's recent requests: https://www.muckrock.com/foi/organization-list/?sort=date_submitted&order=desc

As we get responses, we are adding them to our database: https://data-sources.pdap.io/search/policies/allegheny

One possible next step, if we get enough samples, would be to check for references to data publishing policies (directly related to our mission)
