Rochester Crime Mapping - Rochester Police Department

Crime Mapping

Welcome to the Crime Mapping System of the Rochester Police Department (RPD). Data shown in the map includes Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Part I Crimes, which include Homicide, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Larceny and Motor Vehicle Theft.

Users may filter maps by crime-type and date range. Data is available for Part I Crimes since 2011. Rapes are not displayed on the map to ensure victim privacy. Other crime types are not currently available for mapping. Not all police calls for service result in a written crime report. Please note: Since an investigation may reveal facts different than those originally reported, the data displayed in the map does not necessarily reflect the final status of an incident, only the status at the time of the initial report.

Any citizen may request a copy of any crime report from the Headquarters desk at the City Public Safety Building (PSB). When requesting a report, please provide the crime report number shown in the map.

While new data is added to the crime mapping system every day, data contained in the mapping system may be subject to slight delays due to data processing. Click here or on the image above to view the Crime Map.

The RPD is not responsible for any interpretation of this information and makes no inference or judgment as to the relative safety of any particular area or neighborhood. The RPD is not responsible for the use of or results obtained from the use of this information by anyone outside the agency.
