CrimeRadar aims to provide timely and accurate information. Since our content is generated from publicly available sources – including public safety radio communications – it may be inaccurate, incomplete, or change as situations develop. Content may be based on suspected incidents that are later not confirmed, and location details may not be exact. Users should always listen to the original audio and rely on official agency sources for confirmation.

CrimeRadar does not independently verify the live dispatch information that our content is based on. We continuously enhance our audio processing systems to improve transcription accuracy. However, information may be incorrect, incomplete, or change as situations develop. Users should always verify critical information with official agency sources.

You can use the in-app report feature to flag content you believe is inaccurate or misleading, or send an email to feedback@crimeradar.us. Reports help us improve the app, and we’re grateful to users who take the time to provide feedback.
