Hartford, CT Open Crime Data on SpotCrime!

Image
SpotCrime is now mapping Hartford, CT! The Hartford Police Department is posting crime data to the Hartford Open Data portal . We had reached out to the Hartford Police Department last year in hopes of opening up a crime data feed. We had offered them SpotCrime Catapult when they mentioned their system was too old and they didn't have any way to pull a public crime data file. The HPD didn't take us up on our offer when we reached out last year, but we're happy to see they found a way to export data from their system! Interested in seeing crime data in Hartford?
