Love this tool? Support Saint Paul's #1 crime resource
My name is Alex and I live on the Westside in Saint Paul. I couldn't find reliable crime maps for our city - the public data spreadsheets are buggy and nearly impossible to use. I figured if I was having trouble accessing this critical safety information, others would be too. Building this tool took extensive work cleaning the city's messy data, hand-correcting GPS coordinates, and making it actually usable for our community.
What started as a personal project has become Saint Paul's #1 crime resource, with thousands of monthly users who depend on accurate, up-to-date safety information. I spend 15-20 hours monthly maintaining this tool, ensuring it stays reliable when other resources fail. If this helps you stay informed about your neighborhood's safety, please consider supporting its continued development.
Unlike other crime resources, this tool actually works:
• #1 Google ranking for Saint Paul crime data
• Monthly updates with cleaned, verified data
• Hand-corrected GPS coordinates for accurate mapping
• No crashes or bugs like the city's official tools
• Free for everyone in our community
Monthly costs to maintain this resource: Server hosting, data processing, and 20+ hours of manual updates to ensure accuracy.
This tool has grown from a personal project to the most trusted crime resource in Saint Paul. Maintaining this level of accuracy and reliability requires ongoing investment.
Join hundreds of Saint Paul residents who support keeping this critical safety resource free and updated for our entire community.

Data provided by the city is not exact and locations are approximate. Addresses from the city are obfuscated for privacy so I round dates to the middle. Ex: 1XX Robert St will become 150 Robert St. Only crimes that have been reported and entered into the cities database will be displayed
