BIRMINGHAM / SOURCE-GATED VIEW

Citywide facts.
No false precision.

Birmingham Police documents four patrol precincts—North, South, East, and West—and publishes current department, records, and police-accountability access. The current public system does not expose a stable anonymous offense extract that this independent ledger can retrieve and normalize without changing its meaning.

WHY THE MAP IS PAUSED

Missing geography is not zero.

BPD incident and offense reports are released only to authorized parties under the department’s current records rules. This page therefore does not revive older summary tables as if they were a current feed, scrape individual news releases into a citywide total, or draw a precinct crime map without compatible offense rows and verified public boundary geometry.

Showing citywide values across neighborhood polygons would imply a distribution the source does not publish. This page therefore stays honest: it preserves the available measures and leaves the neighborhood layer visibly unavailable.

What this source can support.

This page preserves the official source boundary: it links to the city’s current public product without copying unverified screen totals or substituting a different reporting system.
