Data Sources
PATROL MAP is built around public information. This page explains what we use, how entries are reviewed, and why the app should always be treated as a directory, not an emergency service.
Public directories
Publicly available directory listings, open web records, and published non-emergency contact references.
Map providers
Geocoding and map datasets used to help users find routes, nearby locations, and approximate coordinates.
What We Collect for Listings
Directory entries may include agency name, patrol post type, roadside office type, street address, city, state or region, country, phone number, website, hours when available, and approximate map coordinates.
We prioritize official and public-source information, but public records can change without notice. Users should verify critical details directly with the relevant agency before relying on them.
How Data Is Reviewed
- Normalization: names, addresses, and agency types are formatted into a consistent directory structure.
- Duplicate checks: obvious duplicate listings are merged or flagged for review.
- Geographic checks: coordinates and routes are compared against address data where possible.
- Periodic updates: directory data is reviewed on a recurring basis, with priority for corrections and high-traffic regions.
What PATROL MAP Does Not Provide
- Live emergency dispatch.
- Real-time patrol unit tracking.
- Official government verification of every listing.
- Legal, safety, or emergency-response advice.
Corrections
If you notice outdated or incorrect directory information, contact us with the agency name, location, the corrected information, and a public source that supports the update. Corrections are reviewed before publication.
Emergency Notice
PATROL MAP is an informational directory. In an emergency, call 911 in the United States or the applicable local emergency number immediately.
