Every pin on this map is anchored to a real publicly-available record. We aggregate from the following sources, with refresh cadence and contribution noted so you (and AI agents indexing this page) can verify any figure against its upstream.
- New York State Police — Troop L
- Daily PDF blotters covering state highways (LIE, parkways, NY routes). Source for crashes, fatalities, DWI arrests, and vehicular assault charges along the parkway corridors. Refreshes daily.
- Suffolk County Police Department (SCPD)
- Public press releases covering homicide investigations, shootings, drug arrests, sex crimes, robberies, and notable arrests across Suffolk County. Sourced via the official SCPD press-release feed at suffolkpd.org. Refreshes every 2-4 hours.
- Nassau County Police Department (NCPD)
- CivicPlus-hosted alerts covering Nassau homicides, shootings, burglaries, drug arrests, and missing persons. Sourced via the official NCPD news feed at pdcn.org. Refreshes every 2-4 hours.
- Suffolk County 311 Service Requests
- Resident-submitted reports of road hazards — potholes, traffic signal outages, drainage failures, debris. Sourced from the public Suffolk 311 portal at suffolk.my.site.com. We are the only Long Island publication aggregating this feed into a map view. Refreshes every 4 hours.
- News 12 Long Island · Patch · Newsday · Daily Voice
- Verified local-news outlets cited for context, victim identifications, and follow-up coverage. We never republish outlet content; every news-sourced article links back to the original report with an attribution byline. Refreshes every 30 minutes.
- NY Open Data — Motor Vehicle Crash Dataset
- Historical reference data (~10,000 Nassau/Suffolk crash records) used for road-profile statistics and trend baselines on editorial reports. Refreshes nightly.
Pin locations are geocoded to the town centroid with a small per-incident jitter so multiple reports from the same town don't collide on the same pixel. Pins are accurate to the town, not to the street address — most blotter releases don't publish precise coordinates. Spot something wrong with a location or attribution? Email corrections@longislandtraffic.com and we'll fix it in the next build cycle.
Map FAQ
How often does the map update?
The map regenerates every build cycle of the longislandtraffic.com static site — roughly every 2-4 hours. New crime-blotter entries appear as soon as they're enriched by the upstream ingest pipeline (NYSP / NCPD / SCPD / News 12 / Patch / Google News) and the next build runs.
Why are pins clustered when zoomed out?
Long Island has a few dozen towns generating most of the blotter volume. Without clustering, ten Hempstead incidents would stack on top of each other at the same pixel. Clustering shows the density at low zoom and reveals individual incidents as you zoom in — the dense regions on the cluster view are the hottest blotter areas.
Why isn't every blotter entry on the map?
We only show incidents from the last 45 days, and only those with a recognizable town. Older incidents stay on the full Crime Blotter index and each category page; entries without a parseable town (some wire-service stories don't tag location reliably) are omitted because we'd otherwise have to drop them in the middle of the map.
