Policing and corrections
Reporters Committee attorneys provide free legal support to journalists who cover policing and corrections. Across the country, our attorneys have successfully fought to access police body-camera footage and other records, enabling reporters to provide crucial accountability coverage of law enforcement. Our attorneys also frequently represent journalists in public records matters seeking information on alleged misconduct in prisons and jails.
