1) Describe Dataset and Preprocessing
— Dataset comes from the SF Police Department incident reports. This data is typically updated daily, but the Tableau visualization is not updated daily.
— Strict focus is put on “car break-ins with items stolen valued > $0” .
— Data is filtered to include only “Larceny Thefts, from [Locked and Unlocked] Vehicles, > $0”. Motor vehicle thefts, and stolen automobile parts are not included. Also, incident reports with description “Unfounded” are filtered out.
