We applaud the Salt Lake Police Department for making their Calls for Service log available in an open source format. The webpage gives users the ability to view and sort the information. After 48 hours, the calls will be archived and will still be viewable at the data.slcgov.com website here The new webpage is run internally by the department, not an outside vendor. This is a great step in the right direction for government transparency with the public. The new webpage will easily allow both public and press to view, use, and share the information  without the threat of a lawsuit . Our hope is the release of this data will make more people aware - and hopefully more people will be able to do interesting and innovative things with the data.
