The daily feeds of crime report data that the city makes available have now been expanded to include a "narrative" explaining what happened. (These narratives have been available for a long time in other places, but not in the city's own daily data feeds.) So you'll now see these explanations here on my home page, in the
DC Data Feeds/Recent Crime Incidents section. And, if you never scrolled down far enough to know that I have this data, then you'll be surprised to find that I display Near Southeast
public space permits,
building permits,
property sales, and
requests to the city-wide call center (which is now pretty much all-parking-enforcement-all-the-time).
