The Metro Nashville Police Department has launched a new dashboard that allows members of the public to view data and information about crime and policing, WPLN reports. The data dashboard features graphs and maps of where crime occurs and how it affects different groups. It also offers a breakdown of the department by race and gender. Police Chief John Drake says the goal is to increase transparency and inform the community. “These first-ever MNPD data dashboards enhance the police department’s transparency and present timely information in an easy-to-understand format that can be accessed on a desktop computer, a tablet or a smartphone on the go,” he said in a statement.
