Crime Dashboard

This dashboard tracks major crime incidents as reported in NOPD’s Calls for Service database. Each incident represents one Call for Service of a major crime as defined by the FBI in the Uniform Crime Report. Incidents deemed "unfounded" in NOPD's Electronic Police Reports have been removed. These data points approximate but will not exactly match NOPD's formal crime statistics which are released quarterly. Note: incidents do not equal victims, so a double murder – for example – will count as one homicide incident.

Jail Population Snapshot

This dashboard tracks individuals in custody of the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office. Individuals in OPSO custody are shown by race/gender, age, the number of times each individual has been arrested since 2010, and the most serious arrest charge for each individual. In addition this dashboard shows the daily count of inmates in OPSO custody since 2010 as well as a rolling count of the number of individuals arrested in Orleans Parish over 365 days since 2010. All data is provided courtesy of OSPO and represents information as reported by OPSO at the time of the snapshot.
