Project poster

16 crimes per day occur in Seattle. This is 115% higher than the national average. Working directly with The University of Washington’s Police Department, our mission is to increase the sense of safety on campus by keeping University Residents informed of nearby crimes in real-time. The core of our project is to amplify the accessibility of UWPD’s crime data for technical users through a public API, and for non-technical users through a public visualization dashboard. Through these tools, residents will be empowered to make better decisions surround their safety.
