Everett Police Incident Reports With Obfuscated Locations

Police Incidents catalog all calls for service and officer-initiated activities in Everett, including assaults, thefts, drug calls, and traffic stops. Addresses are obfuscated to the nearest 100 block for privacy, which can shift mapped points. The dataset is maintained by data.everettwa.gov and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of 'Incident Type' across 'Neighborhoods' and 'Precincts' using obfuscated 'Geom Coordinate' data.
• Model 'Disposition' outcomes based on features like 'Initiated By', 'Beat', and 'Status When Reported'.
• Track temporal trends in specific incident categories like 'Assault' or 'Theft' using the 'Date and Time' and 'Year' fields.
• Assess the volume and nature of officer-initiated activity ('Initiated By') versus public calls for service.

Strengths

• Includes both public calls for service and officer-initiated activities like traffic stops.
• Geolocation data ('Geom Coordinate') is provided for spatial analysis, though obfuscated.
• Data is categorized by multiple administrative zones ('Beat', 'Precinct', 'Neighborhood').

Limitations

• Location precision is limited as 'Address Occurred' is obfuscated to the nearest 100 block, potentially misplacing incidents.
• Specific incidents involving domestic violence, child abuse, or sex offenses involving minors are excluded.
• Row count and overall dataset size are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
