Nationwide crime alert guide
Local Safety Alerts
Monitor local crime and safety reports around places that matter: home, work, school, rentals, relatives, and travel neighborhoods.
Local safety alerts are most useful when they are tied to places you actually care about. CrimeAlerts.us helps you choose those places, understand recent reported activity, and continue to free SpotCrime email alerts for ongoing monitoring.
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.
Everyday safety context
Beyond major emergencies, residents often care about everyday patterns: vehicle break-ins, package theft, vandalism, robberies, assaults, road-adjacent incidents, and other community concerns that show up in local feeds.
