The MPD is committed to providing crime data to our community partners to keep them informed about incidents in the different neighborhoods in DC. At the same time, we are also committed to protecting the privacy of crime victims and the integrity of ongoing investigations. In an effort to balance these objectives the MPD will no longer provide narrative information associated with the crime incidents. Narrative information will be for internal use only. 
<br/><br/>
The following crime information will continue to be available to the public through several websites as well as through the MPD’s community email discussion groups:<br/>
<ul>
<li>PSA</li> 
<li>Criminal Complaint Number (CCN) </li> 
<li>Block (block address provided; specific addresses are not available) </li> 
<li>Offense </li> 
<li>Method </li> 
<li>Offense </li> 
<li>Report Date </li> 
</ul>
Individuals interested in getting additional information about a particular incident are encouraged to reach out to their police district commander, their PSA lieutenant, or to attend one of their monthly PSA-Community meetings.

      <title>Crime Incidents  (ASAP) feed is back.</title>
      <link>http://data.octo.dc.gov/Main_DataCatalog_Go.aspx?category=0&amp;view=RSS</link>
      <description>
        As part of Chief Cathy Lanier’s dedication to improving crime data tracking and analysis, the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) recently upgraded key data systems. As a result of these upgrades, the crime data for 2006 and 2007 has been changed. All data downloaded through &lt;a href="http://crimemap.dc.gov"&gt;http://crimemap.dc.gov&lt;/a&gt; or through any of the Live Data Feeds made available on &lt;a href="http://data.octo.dc.gov/"&gt;http://data.octo.dc.gov/&lt;/a&gt;  prior to 01/28/2008 should be deleted and replaced with the &lt;a href="http://data.octo.dc.gov/Calendar.aspx?datasetid=3"&gt;updated data&lt;/a&gt; now available on these sites.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
        Additionally, it should be noted that individual records of crimes are subject to change as a result of further review and investigation. Anyone downloading data through any of the Live Data Feeds should track and remove records that are flagged as &quot;Removed&quot; in subsequent data downloads.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
        Please note that yearly crime archives will now contain the information about crime incidents that happened in the corresponding year and not updates received during that year (for example the 2007 archive will now reflect all updates received in 2008).

        As part of Chief Cathy Lanier’s dedication to improving crime data tracking and analysis, Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has recently upgraded key data systems.  We are currently working to ensure data consistency after the switchover. Until we have finished this important review, the data will not be available through the website. We expect to have this assessment completed in the near future and will resume our normal data feed at that time. We apologize for any inconvenience, and appreciate your patience as we work to improve our business systems.
