Oakland police response data tracks median call response times and call volumes for Priority 1 and Priority 2 incidents across five police areas. The dataset includes columns for Priority 1 Call Median Response Time, Priority 2 Call Median Response Time, Priority 1 Call Volume, Priority 2 Call Volume, Police Area, and Year. It was published by data.oaklandca.gov and last updated in October 2018.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in Priority 1 Call Median Response Time versus Priority 2 Call Median Response Time over multiple Years.
- Compare Priority 1 Call Volume and Priority 2 Call Volume distribution across different Police Areas.
- Model the relationship between call volume (Priority 1 Call Volume, Priority 2 Call Volume) and response time (Priority 1 Call Median Response Time, Priority 2 Call Median Response Time).
- Assess geographic service equity by correlating Police Area with median response times for different priority levels.
Strengths
