Off-Campus Community Crime Map (Columbus)
The below Community Crime Map consists of statistics from the Columbus Division of Police (CPD) and shows off-campus crime reports. Ohio State has preprogrammed the map to a one-mile radius to include the crime reports from the most recent 7-day period. The default crime categories are pre-determined by Lexis Nexis. Additional features available include the ability to:
- Turn on additional crime categories
- Access months or years of data
- See heat maps and trends including time of day
- Sign up for crime alerts (daily, weekly or monthly)
- Enter your own, personal home address to set up tailored alerts
On-campus crimes are not shown on the off-campus map but can be accessed via the above daily crime log. To see How to Use the Community Crime Map, view the video (right) or view on YouTube.

The Community Crime Map is a third-party Lexis-Nexis service that pulls data from the CPD crime log. The City of Columbus' data, and subsequently the map, is impacted by a recent ransomware attack. The City of Columbus would be the appropriate contact to ask about timing for restoration. Ohio State does not manage crime data for outside agencies.
