The Newark Police Department is proud to launch a web based program to map crime. This program will allow residents to view police activity and information which is updated on a regular basis.

In an effort to provide residents with public safety information, the website allows users to search a variety of crime types and time frames.

The crime map is a tool that gives the public the ability to know what is happening in their community while enhancing the Department’s transparency.

• Citizens can subscribe to crime alerts and receive email updates when new crimes occur near a specific address.
• Only crimes that have completed a review and approval process are displayed. Cases under review are excluded from the daily updates.
