Charge Screening Dashboard

Dashboard Focus Areas
Our public data dashboards are organized around six core themes reflecting prosecutorial performance and systemic integrity:
Organizational and Staff Capacity
Caseload trends, staffing allocations, and operational capacity metrics across screening, trial, and specialized divisions.
Time and Resource Prioritization
How prosecutorial time, investigative resources, and staff focus are distributed across offense categories.
Timeliness of Case Processing
Metrics tracking initial screening turnarounds, formal court filings, pre-trial timelines, and case resolution efficiency.
Addressing Serious Crime
Prosecution metrics focused on violent offenses, homicides, firearm cases, and high-impact public safety initiatives.
Race and Ethnic Differences
Monitoring systemic equity, demographic distribution, and case outcomes to evaluate fairness and address disproportionality.
Prosecutorial Ethics and Integrity
Tracking charge dismissals, evidence disclosure protocols, conviction integrity reviews, and ethical standards compliance.
How to Read the Data

2. Check Category Definitions
Legal definitions and statistical categories may vary across different dashboards based on statutory classifications.
3. Understand Administrative Revisions
Recent case data is updated on a regular schedule and may be subject to routine administrative updates as cases progress in court.
