I agree with Stuk, data visualisation is all about capturing the users attention and interest besides giving out information . Maybe its not apt for a police station soft board but a junior school teacher on the other hand might find it useful

You sound as if "giving out information" is a secondary goal of data visualization, while I would argue that capturing the user's attention and interest are.
