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.
What happens when I submit a photograph?
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.

⚠️ Already ID'd photographs ⚠️
If you have already ID'd an officer with a photo, please submit it to TechBlocSEA on Twitter or via our email address ([email protected]) with notes about the ID'd 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.
