Scottsdale publishes police incident reports as open data

The City of Scottsdale maintains a Police Incident Reports dataset on its Open Data site, covering a rolling prior year and described there as updated weekly.

That dataset is a starting point for a blotter-style desk. It is not a substitute for an official records request when a specific case file is needed. Those requests go through Scottsdale Police Records.

SAZLive will treat people named in incident data as accused, not convicted, and will not publish children’s names in crime or crash stories.
