Switch to Crime Cards Application Today! In 2018, the Office of the Chief Technology Officer in collaboration with the Metropolitan Police Department launched a new and improved tool to search, analyze, and visualize crime data in the District of Columbia. After more than one year of tandem use of both DC Crime Cards and the legacy crime data application, the MPD and OCTO will retire Crime Map before the end of 2020. Users are encouraged to familiarize themselves with Crime Cards, using this resource document as reference, if needed.
