Hi there, I create dashboard for a living, and I’m fascinated by crime data. What application do you use to create? Could you draft a post on your process of us data nerds?

Mainly PowerBI but we work in Tableau and Google Data Studio as well.

That's a great idea for a post, I'll try and put one together!

Good stuff Jeff.

Are there dashboards for other cities to see what their recruiting numbers did post 2020?

Hey Nick,

There are a few places that have similar data publicly available.

Nashville has a dashboard on attrition (https://www.nashville.gov/departments/police/data-dashboard/officer-attrition),

South Bend has a dashboard on recruitment (https://southbendin.gov/transparency-and-performance/police-transparency-hub/sbpd-recruitment-data/)

And New York publishes the data through the lens of complaints against officers (https://www.nyc.gov/site/ccrb/policy/data-transparency-initiative-mos.page)

And a couple other places publish reports on their officer size (including NOPD's!).

Here's San Francisco, for example: https://www.sanfranciscopolice.org/your-sfpd/published-reports/demographics

and Portland: https://www.portland.gov/police/open-data/ppb-staffing-report

IDK about anyone else, but the link to the YTD murder dashboard isn't opening for me.
