How to look up crime statistics in Austin, new dashboards in APD data portal
SUMMARY: New crime statistics are now available through interactive dashboards on the Austin Police Department's data portal. At a Public Safety Commission meeting, an APD data team member demonstrated the various dashboards. Five of the 16 planned dashboards are live, detailing cadets in training, retirements, calls for service, and response times. KXAN had previously reported on the initial dashboard covering high-level crimes. These new dashboards stem from a 2023 city council resolution.
