Previously, Samuel worked at PolicyLink to support a national network of 61 Promise Neighborhoods communities to build cradle-to-career systems of support for low-income families.

Project Description 

Samuel will be working to develop and expand the Police Scorecard Initiative, the first comprehensive evaluation of police departments across the country with a focus on justice and accountability. This project collects and evaluates data on police use of force, civilian complaints and accountability, and arrests from police and sheriff’s departments across the country to identify which departments and aspects of policing require the most urgent interventions to make communities measurably safer from police violence.
