Frequently asked questions
What does this Washington crime map show?
It shows 1,671 public-safety calls-for-service recorded by Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia in Washington. Each call records that an officer was dispatched to a location — not that a crime was confirmed.
Are these confirmed crimes?
No. A call-for-service is a dispatch record. Many calls resolve as unfounded, civil matters, or routine community contact. Only an investigation and prosecution determines whether a crime occurred.
When is Washington busiest for police calls?
In the current snapshot, the busiest hour is around 14:00 with 117 dispatches recorded in that hour. The 22:00–06:00 overnight window accounts for 317 calls.
What types of incidents are most common in Washington?
In the current snapshot the three most frequent types are theft/other, theft f/auto, motor vehicle theft. These are not necessarily the most serious — most calls are service or traffic-related, and our category bar lets you filter by violent, property, medical, traffic, disorder, drugs, suspicious, or service.
How often is the data updated?
Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia refreshes its public file daily. We re-ingest each refresh and republish here within minutes.
Where does the data come from?
Directly from the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia's public open-data feed. Data: D.C. Open Data (Metropolitan Police Department). Original feed: https://maps2.dcgis.dc.gov/dcgis/rest/services/FEEDS/MPD/MapServer/39.
Does this map show names of people involved?
No. Even if the upstream feed includes names, we strip them on ingest and never display them. We never republish booking photos. If you need verified record information, contact the originating agency.
Is Washington a safe place to live?
That question depends on far more than dispatch counts — neighbourhoods within the same city can vary widely, and call volume reflects police activity as much as underlying conditions. Use this map as one signal among many, alongside District of Columbia and statewide statistics, local news, and direct agency contact. We do not characterise places as "safe" or "dangerous".
Can I get an alert when a call happens at my address?
Saved-address alerts are coming with our Pro plan. Until then, this page will always update automatically when the upstream feed refreshes.
How do I request a correction or removal?
Use our correction request page. The originating agency remains the system of record — if the agency corrects or suppresses a record at the source, our next ingestion reflects the change automatically.
