The Toronto Police Service (TPS) is undergoing continuous improvement efforts to enhance confidence and strengthen ties with our society by providing access to open data for public safety in Toronto. The Service would like students to recommend potential improvements of data visualization available on the Toronto Police Service’s Public Safety Data Portal (PSDP). Students can choose at least one visualization (map or dashboard) to : 1) Derive insights for the development of new visualizations for PSDP such as analytic dashboards, interactive visual exploration, heat maps that would enhance the “analytics journey” of users 2) Development of mock-up solutions that would expand the usage of data visualization by the public 3) Thorough ability to conduct and recommend ways to visualize analytics and tell a story would be a plus 4) Delivery of a final report and/or presentation of recommendations All maps can be found here: http://data.torontopolice.on.ca/pages/maps All data analytics visualizations can be found here: http://data.torontopolice.on.ca/pages/data-analytics
