The Austin Police Department will transition the chief's monthly report from a PDF format to an online dashboard complete with explanations and definitions available through the city's open data portal.
The dashboard is part of a broader initiative - the Open Policing Data Release - mandated by Council last September. The resolution, spearheaded by District 4 Council Member Chito Vela, directed city staff to regularly release APD data across several categories, including attrition, arrests, response times, use of force, inquiries into immigration status and use of discretionary arrest in lieu of citation for certain eligible misdemeanor offenses.
