On August 31, 2015 the Hammond Police Department has joined the other Lake County law enforcement agencies in a joint CAD (computer aided dispatch) and records management system, Spillman Technologies. As a result, mapped crimes in CrimeReports will not be available at this time. Prior activity is currently available.

The reported crimes represented are lead information only. After investigations, reports maybe upgraded, changed or classified as unfounded. Once a case status is modified, the map will be updated the following day.
