The first paragraph

MPD records show that the department deployed at least 101 personnel to Renee Good’s memorial on the morning of January 9th, where records identified just seven people holding vigil. The deployment was part of Operation Trust and Safety, which generated $1.92 million in overtime in four days. It involved SWAT and Strike teams as well as drones, city cameras, body-worn and helmet cameras, command-post intelligence, person and vehicle checks, and the preservation of footage and other information as police evidence.

looking up individuals is one thing, but to actually have the full dataset would be something else.

You can download the full datasets, though, at least by city / county / agency. The site I linked to is just one of many pooling from the same source. Local newspapers will run a story with that data once a year or so, which they sometimes put into charts or more readily searchable tables. This graph is missing from the Archive version, but each bubble pops up with this info:

an individual would have to do a shitload of legwork here to actually uncover the patterns or do any critical analysis.

Well, yes. Maybe with non-corporate journalists and coders we could further separate the SF Chronicle's chart so as to move pigs out of the "public safety employee" category.
