Search DowntownCrimes cover the Downtown neighborhood (the boundary outlined on the map), over the last 12 months. Crime is compared per resident (rate), so a large, busy area can have a high total but an average or below-average rate. Source: City of Detroit open data. This feed covers incidents the Detroit Police Department takes. Hamtramck and Highland Park (enclaves inside the city), the Grosse Pointes and Dearborn have their own police departments, and Belle Isle Park is a Michigan state park that the Detroit feed barely covers, so addresses there are not counted. Hit-and-run traffic accidents, runaway and found-property records, recovered-vehicle records and cases marked unfounded are left out. Open data updates on a delay, so the most recent records may be incomplete. For general information only — not legal, financial, or real-estate advice.
