Dispatchr

Local crime activity map & alerts

Know what's happening in your neighborhood — as it happens.

Dispatchr turns official public-safety dispatch data into a clear, live picture of your city and the streets around you. See police, fire, and EMS activity on an interactive map, get notified about what matters near you, and understand your neighborhood's patterns over time.

YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AT A GLANCE Pick your neighborhood and Dispatchr does the rest — real boundary overlays, local activity breakdowns, call volume stats, and a focused view of just your area. Or zoom out and explore the whole city.

LIVE MAP & FEED Events appear as clean, color-coded markers by type and priority, with full details a tap away: call type, location, time, priority, and responding agency. Filter by service, event type, priority, or neighborhood, and sort by recency, priority, or distance.

NOTIFICATIONS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE No account needed. Subscribe to exactly what you care about — your neighborhood, your whole city, priority calls only, a specific agency, or rare and unusual events — and manage every subscription in one place.

CRIMECAST INSIGHTS Go beyond the live feed. See neighborhood rankings, activity spotlights, trending and rare-event tracking, danger zones, and periodic city reports. Plus subscribers get smooth activity heatmaps over 7, 30, or 90-day windows.

LOOK BACK IN TIME Spot patterns with historical lookback — recent activity on the free tier, or search past dates with a longer history window on Plus.

DATA YOU CAN TRUST Dispatchr ingests from official agency feeds and validates every event. Anomalies are flagged, not hidden — so you always know the confidence behind what you're seeing. Update frequency varies by city and agency.

SUPPORTED CITIES A growing list across the US and Canada, including Toronto, Peel Region (Brampton, Mississauga, Caledon), York Region (Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill), Vancouver, Halifax, Medicine Hat, Las Vegas, Nashville, San Francisco, Dallas, Chicago, Detroit, and Cincinnati. Each city shows the services its agencies publish. More cities added regularly.

FREE TO START The free tier includes every city, the live map and feed, all filters, neighborhood detection and analytics, danger zones, and notifications. Upgrade to Plus for auto-refresh, activity heatmaps, longer history with date search, data-quality insights, city reports, and higher limits.

Built for residents who want to stay aware, commuters checking their route, community-minded neighbors, journalists, and anyone curious about what's happening around them. Dispatchr is an informational awareness tool based on publicly available dispatch data. It is not a way to contact emergency services — in an emergency, always call 911.
