To ensure fair trials, the Supreme Court of the United States established the Brady Doctrine, which obligates prosecutors in every case to investigate, obtain, and disclose all information regarding any individual whose testimony or professional conduct may affect the integrity of judicial proceedings.
\r\n\r\nThe Brady List is the definitive public-facing platform of record for accountability information and potential impeachment disclosures involving Law Enforcement Organizations [LEOrgs], Prosecutors, Judges, and government agents. The platform includes records of officer misconduct, decertification, public complaints, use-of-force reports, do-not-call listings [Giglio letter], and other materials relevant to due process, transparency, and the preservation of justice within the legal system.
\r\n\r\nThis platform is available as-a-service to all Peace Officer Standards & Training [POST] Departments, Prosecutors, State (Regulatory) Bars, Law Enforcement Organizations [LEOrgs], Courts, Judicial Disciplinary Bodies, and Government Agencies.
" published: true --- ## [About](/about) The US Supreme Court decision in *Brady v. Maryland* \[373 U.S. 83 (1963)\], and subsequent rulings \[*Giglio*, *Jencks*, et al.\] have made it a duty of all Law Enforcement Organizations \[LEOrgs\] to: 1. Provide to the Prosecution any material that would have a reasonable possibility of altering the results in a trial, or could reasonably mitigate the sentencing of a defendant; and, 2. Any material relevant to the credibility of witnesses, including, but not limited to, police officers. The United States Department of Justice has initiated a methodical approach called *proactive disclosure* in conjunction with the [Open Government Initiative](https://www.justice.gov/open "Open Government Initiative"). This *Brady List* platform allows [Law Enforcement Organizations](/organizations-law-enforcement-et-al "Organizations") \[LEOrg\], [Prosecutors](/prosecutors "Prosecutors"), and [Peace Officer Standards & Training \[POST\] Departments](/peace-officer-standards-training-post-departments "POST Departments") to enter their independent findings, in any number of cases, in direct compliance with *Brady* and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA; 1967). The individual lists are then compiled automatically into a *Brady List* for the individual Organizations. The *Brady List(s)* of the Organizations are then automatically compiled into an State *Brady List* for the State's Attorney General (Department of Justice) and/or the State's Supreme Court (Judicial Council).
