Information

• Overview

  This is a web app that gathers the current crime report data from apps.alexandriava.gov/CrimeReport/ which is the local city government site Alexandria, VA uses for searching through crime reports.
  
  The data updates daily, so the newest reports shown are from the previous day. The time of day the Alexandria Police Department updates their database varies, but for the most part it should be updated by 12 noon. Every once in a while, days will be skipped and not added by the APD.
  
  Sometimes the data added by the APD will be incomplete. This seems to happen around holiday weekends. If this occurs, some of the data on this app will be thrown off and will not populate correctly.
  
  Crossroad address locations, as well as exit ramps, will periodically generate incorrect GPS coordinates.
