The Medford Police Department is excited to introduce a new public crime mapping portal! Through the Geoshield Communities program, residents can now view reported crimes in Medford using customizable filters and settings. This user-friendly tool allows the public to search by specific areas and crime types to stay informed about incidents in their neighborhoods.

“Our goal is to enhance community awareness, encourage proactive safety measures, and build trust between law enforcement and the community," said Deputy Chief Trevor Arnold. "By making this information accessible, we’re taking an important step toward making Medford a safer place for everyone.”

Please note that crime data is not provided in real time, and certain types of crimes are not included. Additionally, the addresses are generalized, displaying the general vicinity rather than the exact location of the reported incidents. Each incident will include the corresponding case number, along with the date and time it was reported. For more detailed information about a case, the public can submit a Public Records Request through the department’s website.

This program is designed to enhance transparency and provide accessible information. However, it is not intended to be used for reporting crimes or as an official record for crime statistics.
