Ariana Mendible is sharing a great talk, "Small Town Police Accountability: A Data Science Toolkit" here at #SciPy2023. Her group has created a great package to help researchers parse the output of FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) requests, using #OCR, #NLP, and #Python. The library, called SToPA, is available on GitHub: https://github.com/qsideinstitute/SToPA
