The `crimereports` sensor allows one to track reported incidents occurring in a given area. Incidents include anything reported to [Crime Reports](http://crimereports.com). Your regional emergency services may or may not report data. The sensor only counts incidents from the current day.
## Configuration
To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`. Your `radius` should be of sufficient size to capture incidents in your area.
```yaml
sensor:
- platform: crimereports
name: <any name>
radius: <your radius>
```
Configuration options for the Crime Reports Sensor:
- **name** (*Required*): Name the sensor whatever you want.
- **radius** (*Required*): Radius in meters.
- **latitude** (*Optional*): Defaults to your home zone latitude.
- **longitude** (*Optional*): Defaults to your home zone longitude.
- **include** (*Optional*): List of incident types to include.
- **exclude** (*Optional*): List of incident types to exclude.
## Notes
### Area
Crime Reports captures all incidents in a region defined by a square shape. Home Assistant zones are circular. Therefore, the region defined by a Home Assistant zone in a Crime Reports context is a square that is big enough to fit the zone circle. Practically, this means some incidents may be captured that are outside your zone.
### Incident Types
You can explicitly include or exclude incident types. Specifying `include`s restricts the incidents to those types. Specifying `exclude`s will return all incident types except those specified.
These incident types are available:
- Alarm
- Arson
- Assault
- Assault with Deadly Weapon
- Breaking & Entering
- Community Policing
- Death
- Disorder
- Drugs
- Emergency
- Family Offense
- Fire
- Homicide
- Kidnapping
- Liquor
- Missing Person
- Other
- Other Sexual Offense
- Pedestrian Stop
- Proactive Policing
- Property Crime
- Property Crime Commercial
- Property Crime Residential
- Quality of Life
- Robbery
- Sexual Assault
- Sexual Offense
- Theft
- Theft from Vehicle
- Theft of Vehicle
- Traffic
- Vehicle Recovery
- Vehicle Stop
- Weapons Offense
### Events
The `crimealerts` sensor fires a `crimealerts_incident` event when a new incident is detected, including the type, description, time, location, and coordinates of the incident.
