Frequently Asked Questions

What is Crime Tracker?

Crime Tracker is a site by The Commercial Appeal in conjunction with various police agencies in the Greater Memphis area that allows users to view police reports and get a sense of what type of crime is happening in their area.

Which police departments are participating with Crime Tracker?

How often do you update the map?

We update the map once a week on Thursdays.

Why isn’t there a narrative/address/etc. on the incident that I’m looking at??

Some of our participating law enforcement programs do not provide full incident reports for various reasons. We are working on getting full participation of all police departments involved with Crime Tracker.

The site’s broken! How do I report a bug?

You can email bug reports to webmaster@memphiscrimetracker.com.
