We are very excited to announce that Stefanie Ilgenfritz will be joining The Post as editor of our Long-term Investigations team. Stefanie worked most recently at The Wall Street Journal, where for 15 years she elevated ambitious ideas into award-winning projects as she led teams reporting on the health industry. While managing a daily portfolio, Stefanie also developed, launched and landed investigations that dug deeply into the safety, business and regulation of health care.

This investigative journalism would not be possible without subscribers Subscribe now “Broken Doors” is part of The Post’s Unaccountable series that examines policing in America amid the push for reform. What differentiates a no-knock search warrant: Criminal justice experts estimate that police carry out tens of thousands of no-knock raids every year in the United States.

Since 2015, The Washington Post has published investigations anchored in data that examine efforts to hold law enforcement accountable. We began this work with a database showing that the government’s official count of people killed by police was, and still is, incomplete. We went further by showing how it’s virtually impossible for police departments to fire an officer for misconduct and then examined how police fail to solve homicides in communities of color.
