Nationwide crime alert guide
Crime Reports by Address
Create an address-centered safety profile with mapped reports, category mix, trends, source links, and a SpotCrime alert handoff.
Crime reports by address should be readable, source-aware, and honest about limits. CrimeAlerts.us geocodes the address, pulls nearby SpotCrime reports when available, and builds a safety profile with map, analytics, source links, and alert options.
What the report can show
- A mapped view of nearby reported incidents when source data is available.
- Crime categories such as theft, burglary, assault, robbery, vandalism, arson, shootings, arrests, and other local report types.
- Distance from the searched point, recent source-backed rows, and links back to the available source.
- 7, 30, and 90-day trend windows, time-of-day patterns, and category mix.
- FBI/UCR state context and regional FBI public notices, clearly labeled as broader context — not address-level crime rates.
Address versus ZIP
Full street addresses are treated as address-centered searches. ZIP-only and city/ZIP searches are labeled as ZIP/ZCTA centroid reports, not official ZIP crime rates.
