## Description

Pulls US city crime statistics from public sources (FBI crime data, city police data portals, state open-data portals, rate aggregators): rates per 100K, year-over-year trends, recent incidents and city comparisons, defaulting to a configured home city. USE WHEN crime stats, crime rate, crime trends, violent crime, property crime, recent incidents, neighborhood safety, compare cities, is my city safe. NOT FOR people investigations.

# CrimeStats

**Contents:** Ideal State · Anti-criteria · Intent Routing · Data & Config · Data Storage · Gotchas · Examples

Pulls and analyzes US city crime statistics from public data sources, rates per 100K, year-over-year trends, recent incidents, and regional comparisons, for the configured default city or any named one. Crime stats live across a dozen sites that disagree with each other, FBI UCR data lags, incident feeds are partial, and a city name can be ambiguous across states, so the skill knows which source to trust for which question: the configured city's police portal (Config.md) for local incident data, AreaVibes, CrimeGrade and HomeSnacks for rate snapshots, CityRating and FBI UCR for multi-year trends, SpotCrime and Patch for recent incidents, and the state DOJ open-data CSVs for agency-level data.

## Ideal State

- The numbers are for the city the user meant: the named city verified by its state (and county and ZIP for the configured city), or the configured default city when none was named.
- Every reported figure names its source and data year, and the answer flags the caveat that shapes it (source baselines that disagree, FBI lag, felony-only portal counts, partial incident feeds, small-city rate swings).
- Rate answers carry, when available, the total, property, violent, burglary, robbery and vehicle theft rates per 100,000, the YoY change as a percentage, and the percentage above or below the national average, with absolute numbers alongside for small cities.
- Each pull is saved as dated JSON under the Data Storage path, so a later run can compare against it.

## Anti-criteria

- Never reports or stores the names of people arrested, accused or involved in an incident: figures, offenses, dates and block-level locations only.
