## What is Lantern?

Lantern maps historical crime reports in Chicago, New York City, and Los Angeles. Browse 20,258 mapped reports from May 12–18, 2025, drawn from each city’s official public police records. These are fixed historical snapshots, not current incidents.

Browse the map for free
• Switch between three cities and 18 neighborhood shortcuts.
• Search for a neighborhood or address.
• Filter reports by day and type.
• Sort the report list by distance from the map center or by date.
• Browse without location access, or use your location to center the map.

Lantern Monthly
A subscription unlocks report details: the reported offense, occurrence date and time, approximate location, and source record information. Subscribers can save reports on their device and share report summaries. Tap a pin or a report in the list to subscribe or restore a purchase. Map browsing and filters remain free.

Lantern Monthly is an auto-renewing subscription at $4.99 per month in the United States. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. It renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.

Lantern does not show current incidents, send live alerts, or rate an area’s safety. An empty map does not mean an area is safe. For an emergency, contact local emergency services.

Lantern is independent of the cities and police departments whose public datasets it uses. Official data sources and coverage information are available free in About Lantern.
