Introduction

This project visualizes the police incident reports filled by officers or individuals (online reporting for non-emergency case) for the city of San Francisco. The data is collected from [Data SF].

Goal

My goal behind visualizing this dataset is to determine:

  • how the lockdown period is affecting crime rates in the city of San Francisco
  • what type of crime is the most prevalent during this lockdown period?
  • Which Police District is the most affected during this time period?
  • Is there a visible pattern between incidents accross Police District?
