Ann Arbor, MI – Residents now have a new way to track local crime and safety information. The Ann Arbor Police Department this week launched an online Public Transparency Dashboard, offering real-time access to citywide crime data and trends.
According to the Ann Arbor Police Department (AAPD), the dashboard provides weekly updates on reported incidents dating back to 2021. Users can filter information by ward, downtown area, or citywide, and analyze trends by day or hour.
“Our goal is to provide the community with clear, accessible information about public safety in Ann Arbor,” said Chief Andre Anderson. “Transparency is essential to building trust, and this dashboard is another way for community members to see the data that guides our work every day.”
The latest AAPD data shows overall crime in Ann Arbor is down 8% citywide so far this year, with violent crime down 4%. Chief Anderson added that the department hopes greater public access to data will “strengthen connection with the community and ensure residents feel informed and engaged.”
In addition, AAPD plans to host “Chief’s Community Chats” and public CompStat meetings to give residents opportunities to share concerns and discuss safety trends directly with leadership.
The new dashboard, Anderson said, underscores AAPD’s commitment to “accountability, innovation, and open communication.”
