About this data

Source

Measures the number of distinct drug-related police incidents (not reports) in Chicago over time. Uses COUNT(DISTINCT case_number) to avoid double-counting incidents that may have multiple associated reports. Drug crimes include incidents where primary_type is 'NARCOTICS' or 'OTHER NARCOTIC VIOLATION'. Date field reflects when the incident occurred, not when it was reported.

This data comes from Crimes - 2001 to Present, a public dataset maintained by Chicago on the city's open data portal.
