About Crime Data
The Denver Police Department strives to make crime data as accurate as possible, but there is no avoiding the
introduction of errors into this process, which relies on data furnished by many people and that cannot always
be verified. Data on this site are usually updated daily, adding new incidents and updating existing data with
information gathered through the investigative process.
Not surprisingly, crime data become more accurate over time, as new incidents are reported and more information
comes to light during investigations. Searches on this site regarding crimes that occurred at least 30 days ago
tend to be the most accurate, although records are returned for incidents that happened yesterday. This dynamic
nature of crime data means that a report generated here today will probably differ from one generated a week from
now, even if the same search criteria are used. Likewise, reports created on this site will probably differ
somewhat from crime statistics published elsewhere by the City and County of Denver, even though they draw from
the same database.
Withheld Data
In accordance with legal restrictions against identifying sexual assault and child abuse victims and juvenile
perpetrators, victims, and witnesses of certain crimes, this site includes the following precautionary measures:
(a) Sexual assaults are not included in any maps, and certain identifying information about them is excluded from report tables.
(b) Child abuse cases, and other crimes which by their nature involve juveniles, or which the reports indicate
involve juveniles as victims, suspects, or witnesses, are not reported at all.
Crimes that are initially reported, but that are later determined not to have occurred, are called “unfounded” offenses.
These incidents are excluded from search results once they have been designated as unfounded.
About Crime Maps
Sometimes it is difficult to tell from a map whether multiple incidents have occurred at a location,
because of the concentration of crime “dots.” Clicking on a dot or cluster of dots will generate a
new map with additional detail. Crime tables appearing below the maps also help users identify the
events occurring at or near a specific location.
A map of crimes surrounding a particular location – such as a school – is centered on the formal
address of that location, and the selected search radius is calculated from that address. At times,
this can mean that the search radius does not include the entire grounds of the property, and the
user may need to experiment with different addresses in order to get the desired results. The
exception is parks, in which case the search radius generates a buffer around the entire park boundary.
Crime icons reflect the approximate locations of crimes but are not mapped to actual property parcels.
Certain crimes may not appear on maps if there is insufficient detail to establish a specific, mappable location.
About Crime Tables
Crime tables are optional but are an effective way to capture the details of search results. To analyze
results using a spreadsheet or database program, copy the table contents and paste it into the desired application.
