A new Ledger page follows the gauge on the Rio Grande at Albuquerque as it reads, along with the weather, the air, the city's police calls and its 311 line. Here is what it shows, and where every figure comes from.
The city posts APD's calls for service to a public record, but in batches. A letter asking your councilor for a live feed takes a minute.
It sets one week of calls, by kind and by neighborhood, against the four weeks before. A call is a report to police, not a crime found.
Pick APD beats on the police call rankings to see where calls come from, then click a beat's name to see its outline on the police calls map.
Zoom out to see where calls cluster. Zoom in and click a dot for the calls there. The city's feed behind it doesn't say what officers found.
