Our SAPD stay busy 24/7, constantly putting their lives on the line to keep the city safe, and I&rsquo;m thankful for all the work they do.</p> <p>Being an amateur API aficionado, I was excited to find the <a href="http://www.sanantonio.gov/SAPD/SAPDOpenDataInitiative.aspx#182281929-open-data">SAPD Open Data Initiative</a> that contains a wealth of information on the activities the SAPD perform. Specifically, I wanted to see what kinds of analytics I could gather from exploring the historic SAPD call data.</p> <p>In this post, I&rsquo;ll explain how I was able to gather and analyze <strong>4.3 million call data records</strong>, or how I basically became the extremely boring part of Batman.</p>
