San Antonio · Calls for service
See police activity where it actually matters
A free account opens live SAPD calls, area maps, the last week of stats, and 5 alert notifications each day. Those 5 are shared across a nearby radius, one city area, one ZIP, and one school. The previous week is on the daily map with no account. Premium adds today, school and district filters, two years of history, unlimited alerts, and drawn alert areas.
Unofficial app. Live calls from SAPD’s public feed (hundred-block addresses) and historical CFS from Open Data SA under CC BY 4.0. Sources and disclaimers.

Anyone checking the previous week of calls on the map
Open the map first. Sign in for live calls.
No account is required for the previous week on the daily map. A free account follows calls as they happen and opens city areas, ZIPs, and schools. It receives 5 alert notifications each day (9:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Eastern), shared across nearby alerts, one city area, one ZIP, and one school. Premium extends the history and sends every matching alert.

Look at a place, then narrow the feed
City areas, ZIP codes, and school districts are maps you can open with a free account. The live list adds filters on top of the call types you chose to see.
- Call types — an account-wide list of categories and problem types. It applies to the live list, maps, stats, and alerts.
- Location (free) — ZIP codes, SAPD divisions / precincts, and named city areas such as Downtown and Southside.
- Call type (free) — categories and specific CFS problem types on the live list.
- Schools — filter the live list to a school or a TEA school district with Premium. A free account can watch one school. That school’s alerts count toward the same 5 a day as nearby, city area, and ZIP alerts. Watching a whole district is Premium.
School and school-district filters on the live list require Premium in the app.
A week of stats with a free account
Open a city area, ZIP, school, or school district and see the last week: volume, category mix, and how calls were closed. Premium adds 30 days, 6 months, 12 months, each calendar year, and all-history totals.
Volume and mix
How many calls, which categories dominate, and which problem types show up most in that area.
Reports and closures
See which calls ended with a police report, with no official report, cancelled, or still pending.
Compared with similar places
On Premium windows, the average leaves out the highest and lowest 5% of similar areas, and the same group is shown per day.
Compare two school districts
Open each district for the same week. Premium keeps the window at 30 days, a year, or all history so the comparison is the period you care about.
Check an address
Every account sees the five most recent calls at that hundred-block address. Premium pages through the last 24 months.
Watch what matters
A free account can follow a nearby radius, one school, one city area, or one ZIP. Notifications from all of those share one limit of 5 each day. Premium adds every school and district, every area and ZIP, and a shape you draw — still limited to the call types you selected.
How people use it
The same public calls, scoped to a campus, a district, or a block you care about.
Parents
Watch the campus, then the district
You want activity close to school, and a way to compare the district around a house. With a free account you can:
- Open Schools and the campus profile. The highlighted area shows police activity around the school.
- Read last-week stats for that school or its district: volume, categories, and how calls were closed.
- Look up the campus on this site and, if the outline is wrong, suggest a boundary change.
- Watch one school for alerts. Those notifications share the free account’s 5 a day with nearby, city area, and ZIP alerts. Watching the whole district, filtering the live list, and every matching alert are Premium.
Outcome: A campus and a district you can check this week, and alerts when you want them to arrive with the app closed.
Residents and homebuyers
Start with the area, then the address
A city area or ZIP answers “what has this place looked like lately.” A single address answers “what has happened on this block.” You can:
- Open City Areas or Zip Codes and read live calls plus last-week stats.
- Open a call and see the five most recent calls at that address. Premium continues through 24 months.
- Turn on alerts for one city area, one ZIP, or a 0.5–10 mile radius. A free account gets 5 notifications a day across all of those. Premium watches every area and ZIP, sends every match, and includes two drawn areas.
- Keep the alert inbox on the phone so a notification can be marked read or archived later.
Outcome: A briefing from releasable calls for service — hundred-block addresses, a general map area, and the City’s own limits on what is released.

About the data
Police Calls SAPD is unofficial. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the City of San Antonio or SAPD. Calls for service are not crime reports. The City explains both in its Calls for Service FAQ.
Live calls
Scraped in near real time from SAPD’s public active-call feed. Addresses are rounded to the hundred block. Only calls where the assigned unit has arrived and is working the call are listed. Calls that privacy laws keep from release are omitted, whether or not someone is working them. The map shows a general area and may include nearby businesses or locations.
Historical calls
SAPD Calls for Service by the City of San Antonio, licensed under CC BY 4.0. We modify that dataset: we filter it, combine it with the live feed, and geocode it for maps and stats. Modified data is not official government data. Full credit is in the Terms of Service.
