This site tracks 911 calls (Calls For Service) in St. Louis City, as well as a few calls from the county. All details are as reported by the police (with some minor exceptions). This site is not affiliated with St. Louis City, the Metro Police department, or any other government entity. The data is collected from the City's public Calls For Service website.
The police reporting site seems to have trouble reporting the time correctly around midnight. Instead of providing a valid date/time stamp, it provides "0000-00-00 00:00:00"; this isn't very helpful. This site records the "first seen" time for each report as well as the Police's reported time. Recently, the Police's reported times have been massaged a bit, setting the date for reports at "0000-00-00 00:00:00" to the correct date and leaving the time. Some other minor changes to the reported crime are also made in order to aid in the site's layout (trimming the reported crimes).
Partially because I have the time, partially because it's mildly interesting. Also, my neighbors and I appreciate being able to track and map crime and it's patterns in our neighborhoods.
I'm sorry that it's gotten to the point that this section needed to be created. :(
I am broke. Very broke. Like I can't afford internet anymore broke.

Nope. I'm not hiding my contact information. The Police are free to open a dialog at anytime. Further, I'm not doing anything illegal (yes, lawyers, I am aware of the CFAA). The URL which I am accessing to aggregate the data contains no human readable terms of service and exists on the St. Louis Metro Police Department's public facing website. While I do understand there is a slight risk that someone might spew litigious nonsense my way, I think the possibility is slight at best.

Yep, you're right, it is. Now please direct your attention to your acres and acres of lawn out in the county. :P
