The offense categories have recently changed. Please see this data story and the definitions page for more information.
The information on this page comes from the Philadelphia Police Department’s incident reporting on OpenDataPhilly. The police classify incidents very generally, so some offense categories available on other parts of the dashboards are not available here. This data is considered preliminary reporting and is not authoritative.
Fatal and non-fatal shooting counts come from the Philadelphia Police Department’s shooting victim data on OpenDataPhilly. These counts are frequently lower than the counts that the police post on their own website.

| Areas in red coincide with the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, the criminal legal system has operated completely differently than it normally does. The changes that can be observed on our dashboard include: 1) isolation, closed schools, and the loss of community programming has led to an increase in serious violent crime, 2) police have made fewer arrests overall (in particular for minor offenses), 3) court policies and other restrictions meant to keep people safe have also disrupted or delayed court hearings and led to a significant increase in open cases forced dismissals and withdrawals.
