PUBLIC INFORMATION BULLETIN

Summaries of publicly available police reports can be found on the Public Information Bulletin.

The Public Information bulletin contains limited details on cases such as, case type, block level location, and case details. This is updated on a regular basis.

INCIDENTS + CRIME DASHBOARD

Explore an interactive dashboard from the South Bend Police Department. This dashboard contains a map of recent crime related calls, crime stats, and definitions of crime data terms.

⬣ Please note: The incidents on the Incident Map are calls that could become Part I Crime counts but are not officially determined and tallied until the following month. For the actual Part I Crime counts, please look at the Crime Summary Dashboard.
