Police Reform in Action
State of New Jersey
Office of the Attorney General
In response to the Attorney General’s Excellence in Policing Initiative announced in 2019, Benchmark partnered with the Office of the AG and the state of New Jersey to create a first-in-the-nation statewide Use-of-Force Reporting Portal. This web-based portal is designed to track detailed and standardized information as a tool for analyzing use-of-force trends, including identifying racial disparities.
“…We will take further steps to build
upon our progress and deepen the well
of trust in our communities, including the
first update of our use-of-force policies
in two decades.”
New Jersey Governor
Phil Murphy

“We are committed to making New Jersey
a national leader in policing reform…”

Aiming for a Comprehensive, More Effective Data Infrastructure
The State of Texas
Benchmark Analytics was selected by Texas 2036 – a non-profit organization – to develop a research and analysis report that evaluates the efficacy of the systems, training and processes of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE).
