Crime near me (2026)

See what police are responding to right now near your location. We'll match your coordinates to the closest covered US city and open its live crime map — incidents on a map, hour-by-hour patterns, top types and recent activity.

We use your browser's built-in location service. The lat/lng is sent to our server only to find the nearest covered city, and is never stored.

What "crime near me" really means

Search queries for "crime near me" return millions of results, but most of them are aggregated rankings or paid background-check services. USACrimeMap shows the actual incident-level data that local police agencies publish themselves — every call, every dispatch, every category, mapped on an open street map with no paywall.

The trade-off: we only show cities and counties whose police agency publishes its data openly. That's about a dozen major US cities right now and growing — Chicago, Philadelphia, NYC, San Francisco, Dallas, Boston, Washington DC, Seattle, Tampa, Gainesville, Naples, plus statewide and countywide rollups for the 141k+ incidents we've already ingested. If your exact city isn't covered, the geolocation tool above will route you to the closest one.

Calls-for-service data is the most timely public-safety signal you can get for free — much faster than annual FBI UCR reports, much more transparent than aggregator scores — but it represents reports to police, not adjudicated crimes. Use it as one signal among many; visit a place in person and talk to neighbors before making any decision.

Frequently asked questions

How does Crime Near Me work?
Click 'Use my current location'. Your browser asks for permission, then we look up the closest covered US city in our database and send you straight to its live crime map. We never store your coordinates.
Is it free?
Yes. No signup, no Google APIs, no tracking. The address autofill on individual city pages uses Photon (OpenStreetMap), and the location lookup uses your browser's built-in geolocation.
What if my city isn't covered?
We're adding cities continuously. If your exact location isn't covered, we'll send you to the nearest covered city. You can also use the address-level Safety Check on any covered city page to get an estimate based on the closest available data.
How fresh is the data?
We re-ingest each city's open data feed on its own cadence — typically every 1-3 hours. The freshness column on each city page shows the most recent incident timestamp. Different agencies publish at different speeds; some are daily, a few (like NYPD) are monthly.
Are these confirmed crimes?
No. These are calls-for-service — dispatch records showing that an officer was sent to a location. Many calls turn out to be unfounded, civil matters, or routine community contact. The map shows what was reported to police, not what was prosecuted.
Does this share my location with anyone?
Your latitude and longitude are sent to our server only to look up the nearest covered city. We don't log it, don't share it with third parties, and don't keep it after the lookup completes.
