Since September 2019, the Boston Police Department has submitted incident data to the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). Obtained through a public records request, this dataset provides additional incident information not tracked in the BPD's Crime Incident Reports
The City of Boston has made only the data for September 2019 through December 2019 available. Data for 2020 will not be available until 2021.
Like the Crime Incident Reports dataset, each row in the original dataset corresponds to a single offense. An incident may include multiple offenses.
Note: the original dataset includes additional columns that Woke Windows does not yet ingest.
