Spokane Police Department Public Dashboard

This dashboard provides a transparent view of activity within the City of Spokane. Explore data on calls for service, traffic enforcement, collisions, and reported offenses. The information is updated regularly to help our community stay informed about public safety trends and the work of the Spokane Police Department.

We're upgrading our report-writing system
In early October, the Spokane Police Department is moving to a new records management system, the software officers use to write and manage police reports. This upgrade is part of our ongoing work to modernize our technology and improve the quality and accessibility of our data.

What this means for our data dashboard
During the transition, our public crime data dashboard will not be updated for a short period while we connect it to the new system. We expect this pause to be brief, and we'll post an update here as soon as current data is available again.

Why some numbers may look different
Once the dashboard is back online, it will combine data from our previous system with data from the new one. Because the two systems organize and categorize some information differently, you may notice small differences in how certain numbers are counted or displayed, including for past time periods.

To make these changes clear, we'll publish a summary explaining what changed and why, so you can understand any differences you see and compare data with confidence.

Thank you for your patience as we make this improvement.

Data displayed on the dashboard comes from the Spokane Police Department's records and reporting systems, including the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). Some variations in data may occur due to updates, case reclassifications, or reporting timelines. These dashboards are intended to increase transparency and community understanding—not to compare neighborhoods or draw conclusions about crime trends without context.
