The city of Little Rock is planning a training session next week on how to access data in its online portal.
Residents can use the Open Data Portal to find out how many potholes are in an area, the frequency and type of code violations in a certain part of the city, what planning permits have been issued, police activity in a neighborhood and more.
From 9 a.m. to noon March 3, officials will present a hands-on lesson on how to use the data.littlerock.gov website.
The event will be at Southwest Community Center.

The event is on Open Data Day, a national celebration to encourage the use of open data in government, business and society.
