There are thousands of college campuses across the US, each with their own public safety department. In an attempt to map crime on college campuses nationwide, SpotCrime also runs  Ucrime.com . Under the Jeanne Clery Act, passed in 1991 after Lehigh University student Jeanne Clery was murdered in her dorm room due to lapses in campus public safety, higher education public safety departments who participate in federal student financial aid programs in the US are required to release information on crime that has happened on or near their campus. The Act outlines requirements campus public safety departments need to follow in regards to publishing crime information. The type of crime offenses needed to be disclosed (as defined in Sections (1)(F)) are “...murder, sex offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, manslaughter, arson, and arrests or persons referred for campus disciplinary action for liquor law violations, drug-related violations, and wea...

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?

We often complain about cities who don't share crime data openly (San Jose) or move away from transparency ( Indianapolis ) and don't give enough kudos to cities who move in the right direction. Well, we'd like to say: Way To Go Fort Worth, TX ! Fort Worth recently announced the launch of their open data portal and we've learned that they will be posting a crime data set on the portal by October. Currently, we are manually requesting data from the Fort Worth PD. We've been required to FOIA request crime data from the department  for the past five years . There are two proprietary vendor crime mapping companies who are already mapping crime in Fort Worth, but due to restrictions on the vendor websites, the data is not open (meaning it can't be used and shared by anyone). When we see the dataset available on the open data portal in October, we'll be happily mapping it, ceasing our manual requests, and we'll move Fort Worth's SpotCrime Crim...
