This week is Sunshine Week in Pennsylvania, where issues involving government transparency are highlighted across the state. MoreThanTheCurve.com, of course, will focus on Conshohocken, West Conshohocken, Plymouth Township, and Whitemarsh Township. We will do one article Monday through Friday on different aspects of transparency.
Today we are going to look at whether information on crime and associated issues are regularly and publicly made available to the public. Please note we are going to describe police department reports as being offered “regularly,” which could mean monthly or quarterly. We don’t have an issue with either way, as long as its done consistently.
For this article, we will only offer a score based on whether a police report is offered with the council/supervisor agenda and how comprehensive that data is. The better of these reports offer a variety of data, ranging everything from parking tickets to serious crimes, delve into other issues impacting police and the community.
The elected officials get this report. We want to look at whether the public gets it too.
We also tabulated how often the departments post on Facebook, but that did not impact the scores.
Please note, the score is a reflection for the municipal government and not the police department. The departments do not determine whether their reports get included with the agendas.
