How we make our copy: once, by hand, we take the census geographies each police agency patrols (its city, or its city and county minus the towns with their own police), generalized to about 30 m, and use them only to tell whether a point is inside the area a city’s crime data covers.

How we make our copy: once a month we extract the OpenStreetMap nodes tagged amenity, shop or public_transport inside each covered US city’s bounding box via the Overpass API, and keep only their ids and coordinates.

We fetch each source on its own schedule, normalise the fields, geocode what needs geocoding, and store it. We do not buy data, we do not scrape private sources, and we do not add records of our own. Where a city publishes nothing for a field, we show it as unavailable rather than as a zero.
Incident records are reports to police, not convictions, and a report may later be reclassified or unfounded by the agency that filed it. See our terms for what that means and how this data may not be used.
If you publish one of these datasets and something here is wrong — an agency name, a licence, a required statement, or the way we describe your data — write to legal@seecrime.com and we will correct it.
