During my time as a Business Intelligence Analyst working for the city of Gilbert, AZ, I was commissioned to create a dynamic, public facing Power BI report detailing Use of Force incidents within the police department.
My analysis proved the following:
- Less than 1% of total calls for service result in a use of force.
- Most "uses of force" are weapon displays rather than physical contact.
- A majority of uses of force are towards people identifying as "white."
Here are the steps taken to complete this analysis:
- Ingesting police department data into Snowflake.
- Connecting the data to Power BI.
- Creating a date table.
- Cleaning categorical data to keep the final result simple.
- Creating several DAX columns and measures for the desired metrics.
- Administering the report within the Power BI Service.
