Crime Watch Australia combines official police data, news reports, and community submissions into one powerful safety tool.
Receive instant push notifications when a crime is reported near you. Alerts follow you as you move — even in the background. Set your radius from 1 to 200 km.
See colour-coded pins for every crime type on a live map. Tap any pin for full details including time, distance, weapon warnings, and a link to the original news source.
Pan and zoom to explore crimes anywhere in Australia. The map automatically loads crimes for the visible area — check Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, or any suburb.
When zoomed out, nearby crime pins group into clusters showing the count. Tap a cluster to zoom in and see individual incidents. Keeps the map clear at any zoom level.
Crimes sourced from police and news outlets include a direct link to the original article so you can read the full story. Community-submitted reports are kept anonymous to protect privacy.
