About this plugin
Yumyoda CopWatchdog displays police officer records — upcoming disciplinary court dates, charges, complaint and settlement history, assignment history, photos and press coverage — as cards, a sortable table and a headline-statistics widget.
The plugin is the front end of the open COPWATCHDOG system (THOTH scraper → HERMES database → CERBERUS_API). It does not scrape or store officer data itself: it reads from a CERBERUS_API server that you run and configure under Settings → Copwatchdog → Connection (API URL and API key). No data is sent anywhere else, and nothing is sent to the plugin author.
Shortcodes
- [yumcwd_cards limit="20"] — one card per officer, sorted by upcoming court date (also orderby, order, hide_filters, filter attributes)
- [yumcwd_table per_page="25"] — one row per court date, sortable and searchable
- [yumcwd_officer id="1234"] — a single officer card ( view="standard|compact|extended" )
- [yumcwd_funfacts] — four headline numbers: settlements paid, officers on the calendar, trials this month, top charge
Themes
Four built-in looks (Settings → Copwatchdog → Theme): Yumyoda (dark, mono, orange), Cyberpunk Dark, Minimal Light, Investigative — or inherit your site’s styles.
