Building a crime database

To build the components for a crime dashboard, we will use the City of Albuquerque's open data. Albuquerque has datasets for crime incidents, as well as area commands and beats. By combining the areas with incidents, you will be able to report on two geographic areas. You could then extend the analysis using neighborhood associations or any other boundary—Census blocks, groups, or tracts, and get demographic information as well. 

You can find links to the data on the main open data site located at: http://www.cabq.gov/abq-data/. Scroll to the bottom of the page and look for the Safety Data Sets heading.
