Frequently asked questions
What does this Chicago crime map show?
It shows 42,405 public-safety calls-for-service recorded by Chicago Police Department in Chicago. 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 Chicago busiest for police calls?
In the current snapshot, the busiest hour is around 20:00 with 2,431 dispatches recorded in that hour. The 22:00–06:00 overnight window accounts for 9,489 calls.
What types of incidents are most common in Chicago?
In the current snapshot the three most frequent types are battery — domestic battery simple, battery — simple, assault — simple. 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?
Chicago Police Department refreshes its public file daily (with ~7-day reporting lag). We re-ingest each refresh and republish here within minutes.
Where does the data come from?
Directly from the Chicago Police Department's public open-data feed. Data: City of Chicago Open Data (Chicago Police Department). Reported crimes — not calls-for-service. Address precision is block-level. Original feed: https://data.cityofchicago.org/Public-Safety/Crimes-2001-to-Present/ijzp-q8t2.
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 Chicago 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 Cook County 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.
