Open Data Jam - Toronto Police Data!
Join us and our colleagues at Toronto Police Services at City Hall to learn how open data (open.toronto.ca) works at the City of Toronto, dive into their 45+ datasets, and see the amazing things they're used for!
We host monthly events where you can find us (the Open Data team), Open Data users and enthusiasts, and dedicated public servants fostering and bolstering open data projects and usage.
In September, we're partnering with Toronto Police Services and spotlighting the data they publish and how it's used!
Here's what's we've got in mind:
Program Intro - we'll introduce ourselves and give an overview of the City of Toronto's Open Data program, how it currently runs, and how you can use it!
Police Data Spotlight - TPS staff will dive deeper into their open data catalogue!
Brainstorm and Jam - connect with fellow residents and see how you might use TPS open data! Also, tell us how the open data program could be more useful to you, and we'll see how we can help!
Meet Each Other - technologists, public servants, and other civic enthusiasts will be in the room - make friends, share learnings, and find opportunities to collaborate!
We'll have some samosas on deck in case you get hungry - see you there!
