Highlights:

• A map should be plotted at the block site address level
• Shows the offense, the location, and the date of the crime
• Shows the frequency (in %) for each type of crimes
• Shows the crime details of every month by week/weekday/offense type (the dashboard should have various filters that will be applicable to all three sheets in the dashboard)
• An action from map should filter out the other two sheets, accordingly
• An action from the tree map and the bar chart should highlight the remaining two sheets according to the selection
