Read with care

What these maps can—and cannot—tell you

01

Patterns, not predictions

More reports in an area do not mean every nearby home or person is unsafe. Population, traffic, businesses, reporting practices and road design all affect density.

02

Incidents are not convictions

The crime map includes calls for service and reported incidents. A report does not establish guilt, and some reports may later be reclassified.

03

Locations match the source

Crime points use the geocoded locations published in the Sheriff’s weekly maps. Multiple reports at one mapped location may overlap.
