Statewide Crime Data Visualization Tool Now Available to Public

LANSING, MICH. In an effort to present public safety data in accessible and actionable ways, the Michigan State Police (MSP) has launched a new Dashboard Portal, available at https://www.michigan.gov/msp/divisions/cjic/dashboard-portal. The first dataset to be added to the portal is statewide crime data collected as part of the statutorily required Michigan Incident Crime Report (MICR), which includes data from police agencies across the state. 

“While the MSP has long been responsible for collecting and publishing crime, crash and other public safety statistics, we’re pleased to be able to utilize technology to transform these publications from hundred-page PDF reports to customizable data dashboards,” said Col. James F. Grady II, director of the MSP. “The first of these datasets, the Crime in Michigan Dashboard provides users with timely, accurate and actionable crime data, available both in traditional frozen year-end data sets and live data that is updated daily.”

The Crime in Michigan Dashboard enables users to view and interact with MICR data, to include tables, charts and graphs that provide information about reported crimes in Michigan. The dashboard contains full-year MICR data for the most recent five years (currently 2019 – 2023).  Current year data is released on a quarterly basis.
