BPD FIO data: a visual exploration
November 1, 2019
-
Overview
Using BPD’s Field Interrogation and Observation data as an example, I’ll demonstrate how we use visualization to explore a dataset.
This presentation is intended to show how we work.
It is not an analysis.
-
Field Interrogation and Observation (FIO) Program
Contact between BPD and one or more individuals.
“The FIO program in Boston is not a traditional stop and frisk program. FIO’s are used to document not only when an individual is stopped and frisked, but also to document when an officer engages in a consensual encounter with an individual, and when an officer observes an individual, and needs to document that observation for intelligence purposes.”
