A new FOI-built database monitors ‘wandering officers.’ 

The National Police Index is a data tool showing police employment history data obtained from state police training and certification boards across the U.S. All but one state has such a system.  

Access to this data helps show potential “wandering officers,” and is intended for use by residents, journalists, researchers, attorneys, and other stakeholders. Information about the age, source, and other specifics for each state is available on each page.
