In order to obtain the information, you will
need to determine which area of the city you wish to research.
Here are the steps you need to follow:
Step One
Choose the area of Houston you wish to research from the clickable,
graphic map below or from the list.
Step Two
Once you have chosen a general area, you will be presented with
a district map and you will need to choose a specific beat.
Each beat is described in detail, with general street boundaries
and landmarks / neighborhoods, ZIP codes that are within that
beat, a detailed map, and a text description of the boundaries
of the beat.
Step Three
After choosing the month to view, you will be presented with
a table containing the stats for the above crimes for which
we wrote police reports in the selected beat and month. The
table will show the type of offense, date and time, district
and beat, premise code of the location, block numbers and street
name. For privacy reasons, exact addresses are not shown, only
the hundred blocks. Each month's statistics are posted by the
25th of the following month.

Notes:
The Houston Police Department does not recommend
raw data comparisons be made between police beats. This web
site does not provide a comparative analysis of the various
beats.
The data presented in these reports is NOT
the official Crime Statistics for the Houston Police Department.
This data is being provided prior to the release of the Department's
Official Monthly Uniform Crime Report. For information on requesting

If you plan to print out the crime statistic
tables, for best results, choose the "landscape" orientation

ZIP code boundaries and police beat boundaries
do not correspond. ZIP code boundaries may overlap beat boundaries
and there may be several beats within several ZIP codes and
vice versa. ZIP codes are provided only as a reference.
