City-Parish employees, both active and inactive, that exist in the City-Parish Payroll System. The information includes employee current pay information, including any special pay. Special pay is earned per pay period.

***In November of 2018, the City-Parish switched to a new payroll system. This dataset contains employee information from this new system. For data prior to 2018, please see the Legacy City-Parish Employees at https://data.brla.gov/Government/Legacy-City-Parish-Employees/gyhq-w3h3

Crime incident reports beginning January 1, 2021.

Please see the disclaimer attachment in the About section of the primer page.

Incidents responded to by the Baton Rouge Animal Control and Rescue Center (ACRC).

ACRC is responsible for carrying out duties related to animal-related situations, including: administering the anti-rabies vaccination, licensing, and tag program; investigating animal cruelty incidents; investigating dog fighting; resolving dangerous animal situations; rescuing injured animals; investigating abandoned animal cases; investigating occult, animal sacrifice, and bestiality cases; resolving stray animal situations; enforcing the leash law and owned animal problems; assisting law enforcement with narcotics, evictions, and DWI cases; enforcing barking dog cases; inspecting dog yards/pens; chaining or tethering compliance; assisting animal welfare groups with feral interventions; and conducting educational programs.

As many of the incidents included within this data set involve active cases that are currently under investigation and computerized system limitations do not allow for automated screening of open/closed cases, the identity of animal owners is redacted to protect the privacy of the animal owner. Members of the public interested in the identity of a specific incident may contact ACRC directly to inquire about the incident and, if it is closed, ACRC will release a copy of the file to the person requesting it. However, location data regarding where the incident was reported or occurred is included within this data set, which may or may not be the same location as the animal owner's home or property.

In addition, to protect the identity of the complainant (person filing the complaint or alerting ACRC to a potential incident), only the complainant's street name is included as part of this data set.

Finally, while all incidents are updated on a daily basis, incidents involving animal cruelty are updated based on a rolling 30-day delay to allow for ACRC to investigate the incident and make a determination as to the validity of the cruelty complaint.

***On September 15, 2017, the City-Parish switched to a new system to track all purchase order processing. This dataset contains data through 9/14/2017. For data from 9/15/2017 onward visit: https://data.brla.gov/Government/Purchase-Orders-and-Contracts/2ung-w7t4

Listing of all purchase orders issued to procure goods and/or services within City-Parish.

In the City-Parish Purchasing system, a purchase order (PO) is made up of two components: a header and one or many detail items that comprise the overarching PO. The header contains information that pertains to the entire PO. This includes, but is not limited to, the total amount of the PO, the department requesting the purchase and the vendor providing the goods or services. The detail item(s) contain information that is specific to the individual item ordered or service procured through the Purchase Order. The item/service description, item/service quantity and the cost of the item is located within the Purchase Order details. There may be one or many detail items on an individual Purchase Order. For example, a Purchase Order for a computer equipment may include three items: the computer, the monitor and the base software package.

Both header information and detail item information are included in this dataset in order to provide a comprehensive view of the purchase order data. The Record Type field indicates whether the record is a header record (H) or detail item record (D). In the computer purchase example from above, the system would display 4 records – one header record and 3 detail item records.

It should be noted header information will be duplicated on all detail items. No detail item information will be displayed on the header record.

City-Parish employees' annual salaries and other payroll related information. Information is calculated after the last payroll is run for the year specified. Some fields, such as job title and department, are accurate as of the time the data was captured for Open Data BR. For example, if an employee worked for three departments throughout the year, only the department they worked for at the time we collected the data will be shown.

***In November of 2018, the City-Parish switched to a new payroll system. This data contains employee information from 2018 onward. For prior year data, please see the Legacy City-Parish Employee Annual Salaries https://data.brla.gov/Government/Legacy-City-Parish-Employee-Annual-Salaries/g5c2-myyj

In the event that your taxes are not paid by a certain date, the Sheriff's Office will advertise your property for sale to the general public to collect the unpaid taxes. On the advertised date, the property will be subjected to a tax sale. If no one buys the property at the tax sale, the property will then be adjudicated to the Parish of East Baton Rouge in compliance with the laws of the State of Louisiana. The records in this dataset reflect the most current adjudicated property listing.
