Cook County State’s Attorney Foxx, who took office in 2016, will discuss her efforts to build a data program within the State’s Attorney’s Office, including the hiring of a Chief Data Officer and the release of a first-ever data report.

State’s Attorney Foxx will also preview upcoming steps in the process of building towards an open data environment, including a preview of an updated data report and discussion of key challenges and decision points in the process of releasing case-level data to the public.
