SpotCrime is a free app available on iPhone that provides near real-time crime information and alerts for most areas in the US, United Kingdom, and parts of Canada. Whether you're buying a new home or traveling to a new area, SpotCrime allows you to check the safety of the location.

The app offers a comprehensive crime map linked to various crime sources across the country. It provides details on a wide range of crimes, including robberies, thefts, arsons, shootings, arrests, burglaries, assaults, and vandalisms. By utilizing the GPS on your phone, SpotCrime can pinpoint your location and provide you with current events and breaking crime stories in your vicinity.

SpotCrime allows you to access crime data right down to your neighborhood and street block by simply entering your zip code. The app is committed to helping inform the public and increasing everyone's safety.

Please note that crime data is sourced from police departments, sheriff agencies, news media, and in some cases, 911 CAD dispatch services. The information may be updated at a later time. SpotCrime also encourages neighborhood watch organizations to request their local police department to share their crime data for mapping purposes, at no cost to either party.

Please be aware that SpotCrime does not currently provide sex offender information.
