APD Computer Aided Dispatch Incidents

Metadata Updated: January 25, 2025

DATASET DESCRIPTION This dataset contains information on both 911 calls (usually referred to as Calls for Service or Dispatched Incidents) and officer-initiated incidents recorded in the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. These are differentiated by the Incident Type field, defined below.

This data excludes records that were cancelled after being identified as duplicates of the same incident, such as when two 911 calls are made for the same incident. It also excludes records that were cancelled because they were handled by another agency such as Austin Fire or Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services or because they were found to not require a police response.

GENERAL ORDERS RELATING TO THIS DATA: The Department has a responsibility to protect life and property and to provide service to the residents of Austin. To fulfill this obligation it must provide an appropriate response to calls.
