The Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission now publishes data on investigations into misconduct allegations against law enforcement and corrections officers, as mandated under RCW 43.101.400. The new dataset lists cases where misconduct allegations prompted a review of the officer's certification, and includes officer names and agencies, investigation outcomes and links to key case documents.

Guidance documents are now available on how to generate good descriptions, column definitions and other core documentation (metadata) for data.wa.gov content.

Publishers updating metadata fields can export the tables to use as worksheets. The guidance covers all nine metadata fields now required to be completed. Open data program staff are always available to publishers for further consultation and support.

Campaigns are underway for the November 8 general election. A visualization tool from the Washington Public Disclosure Commission allows the public to map where campaign contributions are coming from, and see how financial support changes over time.
