Shows concrete methods using SQL Server and R tidyverse: normalize a messy CSV into a new incident table with primary/foreign keys, use TRY_PARSE for dates and a CLR geography function for lat/long, and use CROSS APPLY and chained REPLACE to convert descriptions into 316 incident types then DENSE_RANK those into an incident_type table. Cleans ~413k rows, drops incomplete cases, produces boxplots and QQ plots, and surfaces real outliers (mental‑health‑facility cluster) for follow up.
