The Mountain View Police Department subscribes to CrimeReports in order to provide a tool for crime prevention, community awareness, and data transparency. Members of the public can view most reported crimes and sign up to receive free email alerts based on user-defined parameters (e.g., geography, crime types, frequency, etc.).

MVPD uploads police reports to CrimeReports on a daily basis. The data does not include general calls for service or police activity with no report. In addition, some case types are withheld in order to comply with law and protect victims’ rights, such as in most sexual assaults, crimes against children, domestic violence and calls that are medical in nature. Some case data may change if the investigation is ongoing and more information about the crime is learned.
