The first installment of NYPD Docs Clearinghouse Week has come to a close, but the memories will endure. There was fresh docs, biting analysis, and even political cartoons. The stories have been moved to DocuDrop NYC, a sister publication focusing on raw analysis of fresh government docs.

There were so many internal NYPD documents left over from The Intercept investigation into last summer’s unrest that they had to be released by DocuDrop NYC over the course of five days. (Days three and four were the best ones.)

Here’s the NYPD Docs Clearinghouse Week lineup:
