Abstract

Techniques in this disclosure may provide a user interface that concurrently displays multiple panels which provide visualization of emergency call data of a law enforcement agency. The user interface can provide a high-level overview of emergency calls in a geographical area. Each panel in the user interface can provide visualization of the emergency calls and/or statistics relating to the calls. A user can customize which panels to include in the user interface and/or customize setting for each panel. The user may apply various types of filters to the data displayed in the user interface, and the panels can update the visualizations according to the filters. The user interface can also provide the ability to show data at various levels of detail within the same user interface or panel. The techniques in the disclosure can provide a convenient, digestible overview of tactical and/or strategic data in a single user interface.

a second panel displaying a list of the events corresponding to at least some of the plurality of events displayed in the first panel, the second panel configured to dynamically update the list in response to the selection of the particular precinct from the selectable list of precincts in the first panel to show events associated with the particular precinct and not events associated with other precincts; and

a third panel displaying data of the law enforcement agency related to events, wherein the third panel is configured not to update in response to the selection of the particular precinct in the first panel.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the list in the second panel is further dynamically updated to show events associated with the geographical region.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of panels further comprise a visual representation including at least one of:

a map, a bar chart, a table, a line graph, a time series chart, an object summary, a flow diagram, a word diagram, a pie chart, or a time wheel.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of events include at least one of:

high priority emergency calls, historical trend of emergency calls, top radio codes, or top radio subcodes.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the code is further configured to cause the system to apply a filter to the first panel, wherein applying the filter updates the first panel to display the one or more detail information items that meet criteria indicated by the filter.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the filter comprises at least one of:

a keyword filter, a date filter, a time filter, or a multiple value filter.

7. The system of claim 5, wherein applying the filter to the first panel applies the filter to one or more other panels of the plurality of panels.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein each panel in the plurality of panels is resizable.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein settings for each panel in the plurality of panels are customized for an individual user, a group of users, or an organization.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more detail information items are displayed in a pop-up overlaid on the map.

11. A method of providing a customizable user interface relating to visualization of data associated with a law enforcement agency, the method comprising:

generating, using one or more hardware computer processors, a user interface configured to concurrently display a plurality of panels each including a visual representation based on data of a law enforcement agency, the data comprising data associated with a plurality of events;

displaying in the user interface at least a first panel of the plurality of panels, the first panel displaying a selectable list of precincts and a map of a geographical region associated with the law enforcement agency, the map of the geographical region comprising a plurality of selectable indicators representing a corresponding plurality of events;

in response to receiving a selection of a particular indicator, updating the map displayed in the first panel to display, overlaid on the map, one or more detail information items related to the particular indicator;

in response to receiving a selection of a particular precinct from the selectable list of precincts, updating the first panel to show events associated with the particular precinct and not events associated with other precincts;

displaying in the user interface a second panel of the plurality of panels, the second panel configured to display a list of the events corresponding to at least some of the plurality of events displayed in the first panel, and dynamically update the list in response to the selection of the particular precinct from the selectable list of precincts in the first panel to show events associated with the particular precinct and not events associated with other precincts; and

displaying in the user interface a third panel of the plurality of panels, the third panel configured to display data of the law enforcement agency related to events, wherein the third panel is configured not to update in response to the selection of the particular precinct in the first panel.
