The dashboard includes an interactive map, date and crime type filters, and a breakdown of property crime instances over time. This tool allows users to navigate through the data, providing users with a snapshot of criminal activity throughout the Detachment area.

The property crime dashboard displays the number of instances for four different property crime types:
