Crime Map

Tracking crimes, specifically those based in educational institutions across New York City, the map links them with the nearest public safety infrastructure. Additionally, the precinct is defined, with the color denoting its overall area. Policing alternatives could benefit from tracking of such data, utilizing it in order to create a plan for proper resource distribution and call response times.

Shooting Incident Map

 

The following data visualization represents the shooting incidents that occurred in New York City in 2020, as well as data on the built environment and facilities provided by the entire city.

Finally, the distance between the police patrol and the police station and the impact of the school on the surrounding communities.
