Crime Cards

With the launch of the new Crime Cards, which will replace the existing crime mapping application, users will continue to get all the crime data they are familiar with in an easy-to-use, mobile friendly modern application.

Missing Persons

The MPD takes all of its missing persons cases seriously and is committed to ensuring that each case receives the same level of police service and exposure. Get statistics about MPD's missing persons cases and view fliers of open cases.

File a Police Report Online

The MPD Online Reporting Tool offers a way for you to make quick reports that do not necessarily require a police officer to witness or take the information from you.

Evaluation of MPD's Body-Worn Camera Program

MPD partnered with The Lab @ DC to conduct a randomized controlled trial of our body-worn camera program. The study has been completed and the results are now available!

Help Solve Open Cases

MPD's detectives are some of the best in the world, but we still rely on you to help identify individuals and provide leads in difficult cases.
