Using OpenStreetMap with the Python OpenPoliceData package
summary
OpenPoliceData standardizes incident‑level datasets (traffic stops, use of force, officer‑involved shootings, complaints) into pandas tables and provides a single-command fetch load_from_url that queries the original community source (no caching). Examples show mapping results with OpenStreetMap tiles via contextily and interactive folium heatmaps, and Jupyter notebooks that load, normalize inconsistent ethnicity/column names, and plot incident points or aggregated counts. The GitHub package and notebooks run and reproduce the maps.
