🚨 Dispatch: calls to police

Dispatch shows the calls Honolulu police were sent to. It is up to date sooner than the monthly crime record, which keeps changing for about a month.

What it is, and when it begins

It counts calls to police by call type, time, and area. HPD shows only its most recent calls, and we catch most but not all of them, so every call count is a minimum ("at least"). We have collected them since 9 February 2026, so this history exists nowhere else. Days our collection missed, such as 4 to 7 June 2026, show as low months, not quieter ones.

From 22 September 2026 we check HPD's list more often, so later months catch more calls. Compare months on either side of that date with care.

What it can tell you

What officers were sent to over the dates you pick, and how the number of calls moved week to week, well before the monthly crime record is complete.

What it cannot tell you

A call is not a confirmed crime. Many calls turn out to be nothing, or something other than what the caller described. So a call labeled "burglary" is a call of that type, not a confirmed burglary, and calls are never counted as crime.
