Submit images

Submit images of officers in uniform. Officer faces should be clearly visible in each photograph. It is preferred if the name and/or badge number is also visible.

Please consider first creating an account and logging in so that we can keep track of the images you've submitted and contact you with any questions.

If you have already identified an officer with a photo, please consider submitting it via our email address ([email protected]) with notes about the identified officers. We are working on a system for adding notes while uploading, but for the time being this is the best way to make sure we're not duplicating efforts.

What department does the officer belong to?

What happens next?

The next step after a photograph of an officer has been submitted is to match it to the correct badge number, name, and OpenOversight ID (a unique identifier in our system).

Volunteers sort through submitted images by first confirming that officers are present in each photograph, and then by matching each photograph to the officer it depicts.

High security submissions?

We automatically remove EXIF image data from uploaded images.
