OUR MISSION
Make cities safer across South America.
What we’re building
1. Publish historical crime maps
We’re publishing historical crime data so people can explore the areas where they live, work, and travel. São Paulo, Bogotá, Medellín, Lima and Cusco are available today; we’re working toward wider coverage.
2. Build an app for community reporting
We plan to build an iOS and Android app and explore rewards that encourage people to share information about criminal activity with police. Our aim is to help communities and police work together to make South American cities safer.

The maps use reports published by official agencies. These are our crime and population sources.

How it is calculated
Rates use reports and residents for the areas included on each map. Homicides: mean of available annual rates for 2024–2025. Theft and injuries/robberies: 2025.
For São Paulo we estimate police-area residents from IBGE Census 2022 sectors and the 2024–2025 municipal estimates. Split sectors are allocated by intersection area. Parelheiros and uncovered gaps are excluded from both reports and population.
Legal definitions and recording practices differ between countries. Injuries/robberies combines personal injuries in Colombia and Brazil with robberies in Peru. São Paulo theft includes vehicles; its intentional homicide excludes robbery resulting in death, a separate category. These rates do not measure personal risk.
City comparison · 2024–2025 sources
The São Paulo map shows 93 whole police jurisdictions using SSP recorded occurrences. Parelheiros is excluded. An address selects its police area; colors describe that area, not an individual property or street.
