Not to be too rude/negative/mean - but it seems like a big concern to me that a "police data" project that's existed for three years, has a couple employees, has some funding, etc - doesn't really seem to have any police data. If I wanted to write a scraper to gather documents off of police websites and run it by myself and store my results locally - I could. What does your project add? What I would expect to see is something like: 1. Here's what data we want from each police department each day. Here's what value you should use to indicate that data is not available. 2. Here's a list of police departments. Write a scraper. If it passes tests to show it's generating valid data, and code review, we will run the scraper in a daily basis storing the output in this database. 3. Here's how you can query our database.
