Fireworks dashboard

For the deployment on fireworks nuisance, we use a "fireworks dashboard" with locations, days and times. With this, a fireworks analysis is made to identify hot spot locations and deploy the 'boas (special investigating officer) more efficiently.

Goal and impact

The aim is efficient deployment of boas on fireworks nuisance during the months of October to December.


Queries are used to unlock specific information on fireworks registrations. Reports from different nuisance categories are filtered to identify fireworks nuisances as best as possible. In this way, it is possible to filter mentions of fireworks nuisances from other nuisance categories, such as the youth nuisance category.

Information from reports are combined in the fireworks dashboard with information from the enforcement system. Postcodes, street names, neighbourhoods/neighbourhoods, weekdays and parts of the day are accessed and displayed (summarised) in the dashboard. In no case are personal data processed in the dashboard. Addresses (postcode/residence, etc.) of suspects or persons involved are not included in the dashboard. It concerns only data on date, time, location and other categories of nuisance.

Considerations

Every year, many nuisances are caused by fireworks outside the permitted times. Fireworks are used to commit vandalism, with damages to public spaces running into tens of thousands of euros every year. And besides the physical danger in setting off fireworks, it also generates many complaints. It is important that we can preventively monitor the early setting off of fireworks and also increase the chance of catching violations. This is only possible by anticipating as much as possible where and when violations occur. Responding immediately to a nuisance report is not always possible. In addition, there is a processing time between registering a report and picking it up, so the chance of being caught is virtually nil with this working method. This makes it more efficient and effective to deploy enforcers in an information-driven manner.

Human intervention

Registration of data is manual. No automatic decisions, forecasts or opinions are generated. The information in the fireworks dashboard is translated into deployment advice by the data analyst (employee).

Risk management

No risks are seen in using this dashboard.
