Why It Matters

Your support makes transparent public safety data possible

The Glenda Gordy Research Center operates as a non-profit, providing free access to detailed Harris County crime statistics. Every dollar supports the infrastructure, data processing, and research that keeps our dashboards accurate and up to date.

When communities have access to reliable data, they can advocate for change, hold institutions accountable, and make safer decisions for their families.

Data Infrastructure

Maintaining the pipelines that process monthly court records into clean, queryable data.

Research & Analysis

Dedicated staff who validate, contextualize, and communicate crime trends accurately.

Platform Development

Building and improving the interactive dashboards that the public uses for free.

Community Outreach

Educating residents, advocates, and policymakers on how to use and interpret the data.
