How it Works
Real source records are grouped by category and displayed with their original source links, timestamps, and limitations.
The map is reserved for verified geocoded records only.

What is SA Crime Watch?
SA Crime Watch is a public-facing crime intelligence prototype for South Africa. It is designed to combine official statistics, recent source-linked activity, and eventually verified geocoded incidents by suburb, city, and province.
This build now embeds an official SAPS crime-statistics extract alongside real source-linked activity. SAPS publishes station/category counts rather than live geocoded incident points, so the map stays empty until a real location-grade feed is connected.
Why Trust It
Public safety data needs clear source labels, timestamps, and cautious wording. This interface keeps those details visible on every incident record.
It is built to support transparency without turning unverified reports into claims.
