Platform Overview
CrimeHotSpots.com is the only near-real-time, incident-level crime data platform covering Trinidad & Tobago.

Incident Record Schema
Each incident record contains the following fields:
The Unreported Crime Layer
The "dark figure" of crime refers to incidents never officially reported to police and therefore absent from government statistics. CrimeHotSpots manually curates community-reported incidents from Trinidad & Tobago Facebook groups, capturing crimes invisible to official sources. To protect community members, this data is provided as aggregate statistics only — not raw incident-level records. This represents a unique dataset with no equivalent source in the Caribbean, providing analysts with a fuller picture of the true crime environment.
