About this data#

Reports are the agency's preliminary records and can change or be withdrawn. Locations are approximate, usually the block. Counts cover what Boston PD publishes, which is not every incident police handle. Figures last computed Nov 2, 9:35 AM ET. All agencies: data sources.

Questions#

How often is the Boston crime map updated?

Warden checks Boston PD's open-data feed every few hours and recomputes this page at least hourly. How fresh the newest report is depends on how quickly the department publishes: some post within hours, others in weekly batches.

How can I see crime on my street in Boston?

The Warden app maps every published report around the addresses you save, filters them by type and time, and shows registered sex offenders on the same map.

Does this show every crime?

No. It shows what Boston PD publishes as open data. Some offense types are withheld for privacy, and unreported crime is not in any dataset.
