Welcome to St Petersburg Crimes

There are several ways that you can look for Police Calls For Service. In order of user friendliness and usefulness they are:

• Field Specific Search providing a listing of calls - this allows you to search by multiple fields, e.g neighborhood and date, or crime and officer. We recommend this as a starting point. You may want to establish which neighborhood zone number you live in first.
• Topical and guided search here. Topical search: keyword allows you to enter in any data and records containing thta data will be retrieved. Guided searches are available in blocks that show common values, e.g. an officer's name, or type of crime.
• Advanced search here. Or just click on Search button with no entry.

There is no need to enter in a login or other data. Anyone can search our database.

We have set up this web site as a public service resource for citizens of St Petersburg, FL, and other interested parties, such as potential residents, to find out about police activity in Saint Pete neighborhoods. This police activity is frequently a good index to the level of criminal activity, and the type of crime. Consider it as on online police blotter for the SPPD.

How Up To Date Is The Information Here?

We receive the data in the form of a text file called the "Sergeant's Log" from the Saint Petersburg Police Department on the first work day of the week, which is usually Mondays, with a list of calls for the week ending the previous Friday. So you will not be able to look up records more recent than the previous Friday. So, in no way can our service be considered a list of CURRENT events.

You may find that searches done soon after we have updated the database do not return all possible results. This is because we run jobs to fully index the new records. It may take some hours for the jobs to run to completion and allow valid searches including these new records to be done.

Note at this point, you may find duplicate records on the database. This is because the data sent to us by St Petersburg Police Department can overlap, with some calls reported in one week and also in the next. We are working on fixing this.

Our current data is for the period December 12, 2008 through to January 29, 2010. For some reason the Police haven't included data for August 1-2, 2009. If you find other dates missing, please advise us. We also have the data for April 11, 2008 through April 18, 2008 for a special reason. While using this site please check out our unsolved case and contact us if you can help at all. If you have a request for data from a particular period since August 2007, please let us know and we will endeavor to load it for you.

Featured Unsolved Crime in St Petersburg, FL. $4500 reward This site will feature an unsolved crime here in St Petersburg, FL. This crime will be highlighted here until it is solved. At that time another crime will be added here. If you have be the victim of a crime, and you believe that that crime is a candidate for being shown here, please contact St Pete Crimes. The current crime is the brutal killing of a cat, Amy, on April 12, 2008 by a tall, skinny, black man with a reddish brown dog, most probably a dachshund, on a leash. There is a $4500 reward for information leading to his arrest and conviction. The suspect is described as: a black male in his late teens or early 20s 6 feet tall thin build short hair no shirt carrying a long stick, probably the handle from a shovel or rake. He used this implement to beat Amy walking a reddish brown dog, most probably a Dachshund, sometimes known as a weiner or sausage dog, on a leash. The picture on the left shows such a dog if you are not sure what one looks like last seen walking South on 23rd St N between Burlington Ave N and 2nd Ave N. at about 12:10 PM. Do you know anyone who boasted of killing a cat, or of the necessity of killing a cat, or who matches the description above and has access to such a dog? He may have decided to dispose of the dog after the killing because it was so distinctive. He may have advertised it for sale or handed it in at an animal shelter. Or he may have moved to another area of the city because of the publicity generated. Perhaps he was walking the dog for someone else. There is $4500 reward money available to anyone who can help close this case. By using this web site, you become a partner in the hunt for the killer of Amy, before he creates his next victim, be that another animal, a child, or a member of his family. This man is apparently unstable with no regard for life. St Petersburg has a population of a quarter of a million people. One of those people is the killer, and at least one of the other 249,999 persons knows who he is. If you are the person who can stop him before his next victim, do the right thing. The St Petersburg Police Department has a clearance rate of between 20 and 30%, i.e. for every 10 crimes reported, only 2 or 3 will be solved. That is about average for law enforcement in Florida and is not as bad as it sounds. Offenders tend to be repeat offenders. If they don't get caught for the first crime, the odds are they will be caught for the second or third. You can help by being vigilant and reducing the crime rate by helping them get caught for their first offence. Amy was an 11 year old, 10 pound female Siamese cat. It may have been an act of incredible bravery to beat her with a stick, or the act of a dangerous, cowardly lunatic. You decide and if you can help, please do.
