The crimereports sensor allows one to track reported incidents occurring in a given area. Incidents include anything reported to Crime Reports. Your regional emergency services may or may not report data. The sensor only counts incidents from the current day.

{% linkable_title 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.

sensor:
  - platform: crimereports
    name: <any name>
    radius: <your radius>

{% configuration %} name: description: Custom name for the sensor. required: true type: string radius: description: Radius in meters required: true type: float latitude: description: Latitude for sensor. required: false default: Your home zone latitude defined in your configuration. longitude: description: Longitude for sensor. required: false default: Your home zone longitude defined in your configuration. include: description: List of incident types to include.

{% linkable_title Notes %}

{% linkable_title 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.

{% linkable_title Incident Types %}

You can explicitly include or exclude incident types. Specifying includes restricts the incidents to those types. Specifying excludes will return all incident types except those specified.

These incident types are available:
