Long Beach Crime Portal and Monthly Crime Statistics – Kenny Shiozaki-Kawamoto
DataLB (http://datalb.longbeach.gov/) is the city’s new public GeoSpatial & Open Data Portal for exploring, visualizing and downloading data that is now publicly available. Users are able to filter by date ranges, day of the week, time of day, and crime type. There are over 24 different crime types to select from and each occurrence is mapped by a unique data point. Users are able to select a data point and see detailed information like the address, date, and time of day.
In addition to the Crime Portal, the city also posts monthly crime statistics at http://www.longbeach.gov/police/crime-info/crime-statistics/
The statistical reports contain the LBPD’s monthly crime statistic data sorted by 5-year summary, previous year to current year, and reporting district. Below is a partial view of the citywide report for January 2018.
