Crime Mapping
Welcome to the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Department, Crime and Sex Offender Mapping Site!
Visitors new to mapping applications can sometimes find them intimidating or confusing. It is strongly recommended that new users visit the Help tool on the crime mapping page to learn how to use the tools to perform queries and gather information.
This site provides a map-based tool to query the Sheriff’s Office databases for valuable information about our law enforcement activities in unincorporated Lancaster County. There are various types of information that can be queried and mapped in the Crime Search category:
Offenses- If a determination is made while investigating an incident that a criminal law has been violated, an incident report is generated and forwarded to the appropriate Division for a follow-up investigation.
The information regarding crimes are made available to provide citizens an overview of the activity in the unincorporated areas of Lancaster County, where the Sheriff’s Office is responsible for providing law enforcement services. It does not reflect every offense or incident to which we respond. Certain offenses are subject to restrictions. The information is updated daily. It does not constitute the official crime statistics for the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office.
Sex Offenders- The Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office is responsible for the registration of sex offenders in Lancaster County and the cities of Lancaster, Heath Springs and Kershaw. The information available here does not include sex offenders registered in other counties. A comprehensive list of all state registered sex offenders is available at the SLED Website or national registered sex offenders at National Sex Offender Public Registry.
