Incidents based on initial police reports taken by officers when responding to calls for service. Data is modified for public use. Address and Location are not exact locations of incidents and have been rounded to nearest hundred block. Lat/Long are approximations only based on rounded hundred block. Incidents reported in this dataset may not correlate with 911 Events datasets and calls for Police service.

The City of Mesa does not disclose information that is inflammatory in nature that impacts our citizens. Crimes reported in this data set have not been adjudicated in a court of law for final determination.

Although sensitive crimes are included, the approximate address are NOT included. Therefore aggregate totals of crimes are accurate, without providing sensitive information. Addresses are not included for: sexual abuse, sexual assault, suicide, incest, molestation of a child or homicide.

Similar information is also provided through the Communitycrimemap.com website, a 3rd party service that visually reviews crime data for Mesa and outlining areas.

Some of the data fields provided are used to report to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. For a listing of data fields and description please see their UCR Program Data Collections page. Alternatively, please see the Bureau of Justice Statistics NIBRS website for a listing of data fields.

Information about incidents dispatched by Fire & Medical for service within the City of Mesa. All dispatch and response times are based on calls received and dispatched by Mesa Regional Dispatch Center (MRDC) only. Calls to 911 are routed by a 911 Control Office to a primary public safety answering point (PSAP). The primary PSAP for emergency calls in the City of Mesa is Police 911 dispatch. Fire and Medical calls are transferred to the MRDC, a secondary PSAP for dispatch. Call handling and response times in this dataset do not include primary PSAP receive, handle and transfer times. NOTE: An incident's Reason Code and Category here may differ from how the call was originally dispatched by 911 CAD.

Confirmed cases of opioid overdose, locations are not actual but instead rounded to approximately 1/3 mile increments. Opioid overdose confirmed by 1) patient or witness verification, 2) Opioid found on scene or 3) positive response to Narcan treatment. Incidents involving Mesa police are identified by the "PD Narcan" field. Each row in this dataset represents an MFMD unit response to a confirmed overdose incident. In a small number of cases, more than one unit responded to the same incident or the incident involved more than one patient. These cases are identified by rows with the same "Incident ID" and a Final Incident Disposition for each responding unit and/or patient.
