Station:
Station Setting:

High Desert Crime Tracker currently pulls its data from publicly available sources provided by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's office. The patrol stations that serve our area are the Morongo Basin station, the Yucca Valley station, and the Twentynine Palms station.

If you want High Desert Crime Tracker to show only the calls that originated from one of those patrol stations, you can select that station from this dropdown box. However, please keep in mind that due to the proximity of our high desert towns, the juristictions sometimes overlap, and officers from one station may occasionally handle calls from the other stations.

To reset this setting, simply select 'All Agencies' from the dropdown box, or click the icon to reset all search settings.
Call Type:
Call Type Setting:

Dispatchers for the San Bernardino County Sheriff use shorthand codes to identify different types of incidents. High Desert Crime Tracker uses these codes to understand the nature of each call and then describes the incident using natural language.

If you want High Desert Crime Tracker to search for only one particular type of incident, you can select it from this dropdown box, and it will filter the results using only the known codes for that type of incident. However, please keep in mind that some dispatchers may use slight variations in coding for specific call types, so it's possible this feature may miss one or more of those variations as we continue to update our translation database.

To reset this setting, simply select 'All Call Types' from the dropdown box, or click the icon to reset all search settings.
Alert Level:
0 1 2 3 4
Alert Level Setting:

High Desert Crime Tracker uses a scale to help users better understand which calls should concern them, and which calls are nothing to worry about. The vast majority of SBSD calls are simply administrative or follow up calls and should be nothing to worry about. However, there are some calls, like burglary or assault, that may cause a user to want to remain more alert, especially if the incident occurred in their neighborhood.

Changing this setting will allow you to filter the list to only show calls at or above the selected Alert Level, so if you select Alert Level 2, you will see calls for levels 2, 3, and 4. If you select Alert Level 4, you will only see calls for level 4.

Regardless of this setting, Alert Level 4 calls will always be highlighted in red.

To reset this setting, simply select '0' to show all Alert Levels, or click the icon to reset all search settings.
