King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) Crime Data Analytics
KCSO owns a record management system which generates large quantities of normalized data around law enforcement activities spanning 14 jurisdictions throughout King County. Our goal is to use this to identify trends and provide recommendations to KCSO. For example, weekends recorded nearly 25% less crime than weekdays. Crimes also peaked during afternoon hours, indicating a link between time of the day and crime rates. We used PowerBI to build dashboards to cover the KCSO region and highlight areas that needed extra patrolling. We hope that the insights we provide help King County in better resource allocation and making data-driven decisions.
