Run an address search on CivicScout to see the details for a specific property.
CivicScout counts Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department offense reports that carry a map location, and traffic crashes, inside the Near Westside neighborhood outline. Citywide, about 1 in 25 offense reports, and about the same share of reports of serious violent crime, carries no map location and is not counted, and IMPD’s public data holds no rape, sexual-assault or fondling report at all (the few filed as assaults after a rape or child-molestation call are shown at block level, about 100 meters, with no case number), so the counts understate crime, violent crime included, and cannot show that an area has little of it. Incidents handled by the Marion County Sheriff, the State Police, campus, hospital and airport police and by the police departments of Beech Grove, Lawrence, Speedway and Southport do not appear. Crash records arrive about five weeks late, so crash counts stop five weeks before today. The IU Indianapolis (IUPUI) campus, nearby, has its own campus police, so incidents on the campus are not in the IMPD feed.
