DC Crime Cards

Published by City of Washington, DC | District of Columbia | Metadata Last Checked: June 27, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-06-28T14:56:25.000Z
<div>An interactive public crime mapping application providing DC residents and visitors easy-to-understand data visualizations of crime locations, types and trends across all eight wards. Crime Cards was created by the DC Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO). Special thanks to the community members who participated in reviews with MPD Officers and IT staff, and those who joined us for the #SaferStrongerSmarterDC roundtable design review. All statistics presented in Crime Cards are based on preliminary DC Index crime data reported from 2009 to midnight of today’s date. They are compiled based on the date the offense was reported (Report Date) to MPD. The application displays two main crime categories: Violent Crime and Property Crime. Violent Crimes include homicide, sex abuse, assault with a dangerous weapon (ADW), and robbery. Violent crimes can be further searched by the weapon used. Property Crimes include burglary, motor vehicle theft, theft from vehicle, theft (other), and arson.</div><div><br /></div><div>CrimeCards collaboration between the <a href='https://mpdc.dc.gov' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>Metropolitan Police Department (MPD)</a>, the <a href='https://octo.dc.gov' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO)</a>, and community members who participated at the <a href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/SaferStrongerSmarterDC' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>#SafterStrongerSmarterDC</a> roundtable design review.<br /></div><div><br /></div>
