The Sheriff File
A sourced timeline tracking Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal’s tenure through spending, lawsuits, vehicles, personnel, and the office’s public-record trail.
Field notes
The project organizes its material in two overlapping ways: readers can browse entries by year or filter them into subjects such as money, courts, vehicles, personnel, and PR & AI. The visible index reaches No. 043 and includes figures ranging from a $585,000 combined settlement to nearly $8 million in purchases from a sheriff-controlled account. Entries carry dates and source links, including reporting from The Philadelphia Inquirer and CBS Philadelphia, making the page function as an annotated civic timeline rather than a conventional news homepage.
