Welcome to the official GitHub page for the Data Science Team at the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC). Our team is dedicated to leveraging data science and advanced analytics to support informed decision-making in policing and crime prevention. We use data-driven insights to enhance public safety, optimise resource allocation, and support strategic initiatives.
This repository serves as a central hub for our team's resources, including:
- Help Guides (Bookdown) Comprehensive guides and documentation on various topics relevant to data science and analytics within policing and crime prevention. Each guide is created using Bookdown and is designed to be accessible and easy to follow, catering to different levels of expertise.
- Code Repositories Reusable code snippets, scripts, and tools that our team has developed to address specific challenges in data analysis and crime prevention. We encourage collaboration, so feel free to contribute or use these resources in your own work. Just make sure to cite us!
- Project Hosting Detailed descriptions, data, and code for our ongoing and past projects. You can explore our work, track progress, and see the impact of data science on real-world policing and crime reduction efforts.
