Illinois, USA · City dispatch report

ChicagoEmergency dispatch activity across 98 neighbourhoods — police calls, aggregated monthly

Data period: August 1 – 31, 2026 · refreshed monthly

August 1 – 31, 2026 is an incomplete month for Chicago. The source feed published nothing after August 20, and carried calls on only 6 of the month's 31 days. The 89 calls published for the month are below the 100 this section normally requires, so the figures below are thinner than usual. Everything here counts what was published, which undercounts the month — treat it as a partial picture, not a quiet one, and don't compare it with other months or other cities. Month-over-month change is not shown for this period.

Time of day

Time-of-day data isn't available for Chicago. Chicago Police Department publishes generalized (date-level) timestamps rather than precise event times, so hourly and weekday-vs-weekend patterns can't be computed. Counts, categories, locations, and monthly history are unaffected.
