Out of all the programs, it seems that the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program, is best suited for us. It includes data reported by law enforcement agencies across the United States. This data can be organized by location, including by cities, which is crucial for our app.

It offers two reporting formats: Summary Reporting System (SRS): Provides aggregated counts of reported crime offenses by location. National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS): Provides a detailed incident-based view, including the time of day, demographics of offenders/victims, and specific incident details.
