Dev sprint 12: Agency search & view

What we did

This sprint we focused on building the framework for the agency view and starting to integrate live data. The next sprint will focus on finalizing these elements.

Goals

• Continue evolving the agency view - begin implementing the search interface and make design/content changes based on this week’s testing.
• Begin expanding the API to allow for the downloading of incident-level data for a given agency and year.
• Define opportunities for improving the download experience.
• Respond to initial feedback and continue pilot testing.

Next steps

• Finalize integration work to enable dynamic content for the agency description, bar charts, and NIBRS tables.
• Add search functionality so that users may view results by agency type and location (primary county).
• Test the latest iteration of the view with users to better understand where refinements are needed.
• Improve the download experience by adding detail to the bulk NIBRS reports, refining existing reports to improve usability, addressing limitations with the Human Trafficking and Cargo theft datasets currently made available by the CDE, and resolving a known issue with IE that affects downloads for some users.
