Tallahassee Online Police Statistics (TOPS)

The objective of Tallahassee Online Police Statistics (TOPS) web site is to provide crime, traffic crash, and quality of life data to the Tallahassee community in a simple to use format. The data on this website is specific to the City of Tallahassee (Tallahassee Police Dept.) and and Leon County Sheriff's Office and is taken directly from the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) application of the Consolidated Dispatch Agency [edited 2013]. Please note that the activities shown are taken from calls for service, which are defined as a call or complaint generated by a citizen to the Department, or an incident identified and documented by an officer in the field. Because these statistics are based on how a call is initially classified in the CAD system, they are not official crime statistics. For instance, a call may be classified in the CAD as a “weapons call” or a “deceased person” but when officers respond they discover a homicide. Because of the coding in the CAD system this will not show as a homicide in (TOPS). Similarly, a call may be initially classified as “vandalism” but responding officers discover a burglary. Unless the initial coding is changed it would not show as a burglary in (TOPS). For official crime statistics visit FDLE Uniform Crime Reports (UCR)

The web site data is searchable through numerous formats such as date range, activity type, proximity to an address, a specific geographic boundary, neighborhood association, and additional parameters. It is important that users understand the icon legend, the definition of each activity, and follow the prescribed directions.

I understand that the information from this site is for informational purposes only and does not reflect official crime statistics.
