Dispatch calls from the last 30 days are viewable on the map, subject to a four-hour delay.
Legal Context
Public crime maps have become a common transparency tool for local police agencies, typically trading precise locations for approximate blocks to protect privacy. The Terre Haute tool follows that model by showing dispatch calls only at approximate block level after a four-hour delay.
Residents can check recent dispatch activity by call type, date, and time to see what kinds of calls police are responding to in their neighborhood. The approximate-block display means the map shows general areas rather than specific addresses.
The takeaway
Checking the Activity Map can help you understand recent police activity near home without requiring exact address details. Remember that data is delayed by four hours and covers only the last 30 days.
