Today Morning we were given the Nopd Body Worn Camera dataset to carryout the analysis.
Objective of the day were work independently, data prepping, sketching uploading to tableau public and write a blog.
About the data: The dataset represents the metadata related to body worn camera videos recorded by the New Orleans Police Department. This dataset is updated monthly. Therefore it was huge dataset. By first look, It looked very straightforward dataset.
Data prep: I started data prep immediately, it didn't take long initially as i was cleaning the data (removing un wanted field / changing the datatype/ Some calculations). While doing the dataprep i realised this dataset will not give any proper insights therefore i started looking into another dataset to provide more dimensions to the analysis. I tried couple of datasets but i failed to found proper one. Therefore, i decided to focus on the dashboard.
I sketched the dashboard plan and begin the tableau work. I managed to get some insight how each district focuses on use of their camera recordings.Please have a look at the dashboard.
Most important thing i learn while working under pressure: Save your work every five minutes. I know tableau does auto save your work every few mins but today i lost 1:30 hours worth of work where tableau did not auto save my work.
