Is this a crime map of San Francisco?
It shows the calls and reports that agencies in San Francisco publish: crimes like theft, burglary or assault, as well as traffic accidents, fires and medical emergencies.
How current is the map?
It loads the latest data every time you open it and covers the last 48 hours. Agencies publish with a delay of a few hours, some up to a day, so this is not a live feed.
Can I see single reports and exact addresses?
Not on the website. The map groups reports into areas of about 300 m. Every single report with time, place and details is in the Nearwatch app for iPhone.
Does it cost anything?
The map on this website is free. Nearwatch for iPhone is a free download.
