A new tool will make Pittsburgh crime data more accessible.
Pittsburgh Police launched the police data portal Wednesday afternoon, a new public database detailing where, when and what kind of crime is happening in Pittsburgh.
The portal is available now and includes year-to-date information for 2023.
Information is gathered from police reports and includes police zone, neighborhood, crime committed and date.
No personal information or full address is included in the portal.
So far this year, there have been 5,157 crimes reported in the city.
“By making comprehensive crime data publicly available and easily accessible, residents are better informed about their own neighborhoods, the city as a whole, and the work of the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police. As Chief, I am committed to driving accountability through transparency and the Police Data Portal is another building block toward that goal,” said Pittsburgh Police Chief, Larry Scirotto.
