About the Crime Map
Data used for the Crime Map is provided by the Fresno Police Department. Data is available only for crimes reported in the city of Fresno. Fresno County islands within the city boundary are not included.
Data is updated at 10:30 each morning Pacific Time, seven days a week. Each update includes new information from the past 24 hours. The last update occurred on February 9, 2012 10:58am .
For privacy reasons, the Police Department masks the last two digits of addresses in a crime report. The time listed on each incident is the department's determination of when the crime occurred. A reported crime will not appear on the map or charts until a time is assigned to it.
For questions about the interpretation of the data, call the Police Department's public information office at (559) 621-2486.
