data.cincinnati-oh.gov | Last Updated 16 Aug 2021

Data Description: This data represents historic calls for service for the Cincinnati Police Department. Calls for Service are the events captured in an agency’s Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system used to facilitate incident response. This dataset includes both proactive and reactive police incident data. Data Creation: This data is created when a run is entered into the City’s computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system. Data Created By: The source of this data is the Cincinnati Police Department. Refresh Frequency: This data is historic and is no longer updated. Data Dictionary: A data dictionary providing definitions of columns and attributes is available as an attachment to this dataset. Processing: The City of Cincinnati is committed to providing the most granular and accurate data possible. In that pursuit the Office of Performance and Data Analytics facilitates standard processing to most raw data prior to publication. Processing includes but is not limited: address verification, geocoding, decoding attributes, and addition of administrative areas (i.e. Census, neighborhoods, police districts, etc.). Data Usage: For directions on downloading and using open data please visit our How-to Guide: https://data.cincinnati-oh.gov/dataset/Open-Data-How-To-Guide/gdr9-g3ad Disclaimer: In compliance with privacy laws, all Public Safety datasets are anonymized and appropriately redacted prior to publication on the City of Cincinnati’s Open Data Portal. This means that for all public safety datasets: (1) the last two digits of all addresses have been replaced with “XX,” and in cases where there is a single digit street address, the entire address number is replaced with "X"; and (2) Latitude and Longitude have been randomly skewed to represent values within the same block area (but not the exact location) of the incident.
