pgh-blotter-parser

Everyday via cronjob, the application uses python, pdfminer and custom parsing to convert the data here:

...into json. It then uses geopy to geocode the locations from google's geocoding API. The resulting json is pulled in via javascript and combined with googlemapsv3 to show everything on a map.
