IS YOUR CAR SAFE?

Do you ever wonder if your car is safe after you parked?

Using Google Maps API and an incident dataset located at https://data.sfgov.org/Public-Safety/Police-Department-Incident-Reports-2018-to-Present/wg3w-h783, we created an application that can display incidents near your location and based on the number of incidents, we determine if your parking spot is safe or not!

User can give their location, and the application shows them all vehicle-related incidents, given a radius, such as vehicle thefts.

Implemented with HTML, CSS, Javascript, Python, and Flask.

Locations are limited to just San Francisco, CA.
