Find the Crime In Your Neighborhood

The San Antonio Police Department has an online, searchable database divided by geographic (substation) location of crimes reported throughout our community.

Go here and look up your neighborhood, or your workplace location, or where you shop.

The data isn't brand-new: 2007 is the latest info you can get. However, it does give you an idea of the relative safety of an area, as well as the types of crimes that are most prevalent in that area. Some, for example, are prone to burglary. Others, for theft and vehicle theft.

It can prove to be very interesting and informative as you begin recognizing street names....
