search tips
Enter your street address in this format:
1420 NW 113TH ST
- or -
2600 W. WILSHIRE
* Always include street directions (SW, NW etc) and suffixes (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc).
ie 100 SW 3rd St. NOT 100 3 st.
* Including the proper street label will increase you chances of matching the correct address.
ie use 1000 Linn Ave. NOT just 1000 Linn, CrimeWatch will not know if you mean Linn Ave. or Linn St.

faq: the crime database
(For questions about crime and the law, including definitions of specific crimes, see next column.)
Q: What crimes are listed in the search?
A: The crimes listed are: Assault, Auto Theft, Burglary, Rape, Robbery, and Homicide.
Q: I live in Warr Acres, Bethany, Nichols Hills, or the Village. They are not listed on the drop-down menu where I select a city.
A: Because these cities are within the Oklahoma City geographical boundaries, the crime databases for each of these cities may be integrated into the Oklahoma City database.
Q: Why do the totals on the left not match exactly the data on the map?
A: The map shows only the addresses that can be mapped. The numbers in the Results box are the most accurate. Addresses used by the Police Departments do not always match exactly what is in the map database and can not be mapped correctly ie 1200 Linn Ave can not be mapped because Google maps does not know if you mean 1200 S. Linn Ave. or 1200 N. Linn Ave.
Q: How can I use information from the Interactive Crime Report?
A: It is very important to keep in mind that data in our database is always more than 30 days old and is not intended to provide specific details about any crime. Instead, the reports you produce can be useful in determining the nature and frequency of crimes occurring in your neighborhood and the trends that indicate an increase or decrease in crime activity.
Q: It says my address was not found, but I've lived here for years!
A: Check the way you've entered your address. For example, if you live on 102nd Street, you'd enter the address as "<house number> NW 102ND ST" instead of "<house number> NW 102". Also, if your address is outside the Oklahoma City city limits, it may not be found in the database.
Q: But I live in the city limits, and I entered my address correctly.
A: Connecting the street addresses in our database to their actual locations on a map is called "geocoding." In some cases, especially with streets that were built in the past few years, the Google maps cannot correctly geocode. We estimate that at least 90% of Oklahoma City addresses are correctly geocoded. You might try entering an address near you but on another street or try entering the nearest intersection ie 10th St. and Council Road.
Q: When the map comes up it shows the wrong address. What gives?
A: Again, there are a few addresses that don't map correctly in the mapping software. You might try entering an address near you but on another street or try entering the nearest intersection ie 10th St. and Council Road.
Q: All the points on my map appear at the end of the street. Do crimes occur only on corners?
A: The addresses in the Crime Tracker database have rounded off to hundred blocks. For example, 7413 N. Kelley Avenue is listed in the database as 7400 N KELLEY AVE
Q: Why's that?
A: The Oklahoma City Police Department converts all street addresses in the data they provide us to this format (rounded off to hundred block numbers) to protect the privacy of crime victims. We totally agree with their concern and will provide crime report information from any city/town in this format only.
Q: How current is the crime data?
A: For the most part, the crime data covers a 12 month period but this may vary depending on the information we receive from each city/town as they are added. This page lists the current time periods for each city/town.
Q: Do you be update this information regularly?
A: The Oklahoma City Police Department will be sending us regular updates, and we will update the database as we receive those records. Other towns/cities may be updated more or less frequently. We will always incorporate new data as quickly as possible.
Q: Can you add my town/area?
A: We are talking to area police departments to include their data. If your area is not included in the database, please call your local police department and request that this information be made available to NewsOK.com.
Q: How can I contact the police department?
A: Here is a list of related links that may provide useful information.

faq: crime & the law
(For questions about the Crimetracker database, see previous column.)
Q: What's the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor
A: A felony is a crime that is punishable by death, imprisonment, community punishment, or a fine. All other crimes are misdemeanors.
Q: So what's the punishment for a misdemeanor?
A: In most cases in Oklahoma, a misdemeanor is punishable by not more than a year's imprisonment or by a fine of $500 or less - or both.
Q: Can you define some of the terms used in the database? For example, what's the difference between Burglary 1 and Burglary 2?
A: You asked for it. Here are some definitions, straight from the Oklahoma Statutes, with clarification.
Assault and Battery
"An assault is any willful and unlawful attempt or offer with force or violence to do a corporal hurt to another." - 21 O.S. §641 (OSCN 1998) "A battery is any willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon the person of another." - 21 O.S. §642 (OSCN 1998) In the database, there are two kinds of reports of assault and battery: assault and battery, and assault and/or battery with a dangerous or deadly weapon. A dangerous or deadly weapon can be anything from a metal pipe to a knife or a gun. Both of these are assaults without intent to kill or commit a felony.
Discharging a Firearm
"Every person who willfully discharges any pistol, rifle, shotgun, airgun or other weapon, or throws any other missile in any public place, or in any place where there is any person to be endangered thereby, although no injury to any person shall ensue, is guilty of a misdemeanor." - 21 O.S. §1364 (OSCN 1998)A common crime in the database is Discharging a Firearm from a Vehicle, which is basically a drive-by shooting.
Homicide
"Homicide is the killing of one human being by another." - 21 O.S. §691 (OSCN 1998)In Oklahoma, there are four classifications of homicide: murder; manslaughter; excusable homicide; or justifiable homicide. Any of these may show up in the Crime Tracker database as homicides.
Larceny
"Larceny is the taking of personal property accomplished by fraud or stealth, and with intent to deprive another thereof." - 21 O.S. §1701 (OSCN 1998)The most common larceny in the database is Larceny of a Vehicle, which is car theft. Occasionally you may see Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, which usually occurs when someone borrows a vehicle belonging to someone else without the owner's permission.
Pointing a Firearm
"Except for an act of self-defense, it shall be unlawful for any person to point any pistol or any other deadly weapon whether loaded or not, at any other person or persons." - 21 O.S. §1279 (OSCN 1998)
Robbery and Burglary
"Robbery is a wrongful taking of personal property in the possession of another, from his person or immediate presence, and against his will, accomplished by means of force or fear." - 21 O.S. §791 (OSCN 1998)
First degree robbery
involves the use of fear or force, while second degree robbery does not.
"Every person who breaks into and enters the dwelling house of another, in which there is at the time some human being, with intent to commit some crime therein, either: 1. By forcibly bursting or breaking the wall, or an outer door, window, or shutter of a window of such house or the lock or bolts of such door, or the fastening of such window or shutter; or 2. By breaking in any other manner, being armed with a dangerous weapon or being assisted or aided by one or more confederates then actually present; or 3. By unlocking an outer door by means of false keys or by picking the lock thereof, or by lifting a latch or opening a window, is guilty of burglary in the first degree." - 21 O.S. §1431 (OSCN 1998)
"Every person who breaks and enters any building or any part of any building, room, booth, tent, railroad car, automobile, truck, trailer, vessel or other structure or erection, in which any property is kept, or breaks into or forcibly opens, any coin operated or vending machine or device with intent to steal any property therein or to commit any felony, is guilty of burglary in the second degree." - 21 O.S. §1435 (OSCN 1998)
The main difference between Burglary in the First Degree (Burglary 1) and Burglary in the Second Degree (Burglary 2) is that in Burglary 1 there is a person in the building that is being entered. In Burglary 2, the building or structure is unoccupied.
Rape
Rape is an act of sexual intercourse accomplished against the will of one of the participants.
