Some savvy social media types suggested we get on TikTok so that we could eventually live stream AMSR-like scanner traffic. To do so, we need 1000 subs. If you happen to be on TikTok follow us @heyjackasschicago and we’ll follow you back. Thanks!
“Sun’s Out Guns Out” fits this weekend perfectly. Good thing there’s a Sun’s Out Guns Out tee which will fit perfectly as well, unless you’re into XS half shirts, then you’re on your own. And because it’s Tax Day, knock 15% OFF your order with the code TAXES.

We’ve set up a Substack channel where we’ll be posting longer form content that doesn’t necessarily work on the site. Subscribe if you like, or not. We spend most of our social media capital on Twitter/X, however we’ve been more active on Instagram of late and are close to becoming influencers, but only if influencer means having no influence. We’ve also set up a TikTok account so that we can participate in the banning. Plus we have a toehold on a number of smaller, alternative social media platforms to be used primarily as “just-in-case” backups: Odysee, Rumble, Minds and GETTR.

As more and more CPD frequencies move towards encryption, scanners are becoming useless. Check out CrimeIsDown’s Live Audio Feeds to listen to any zone that hasn’t been encrypted (yet) or use the official feeds with a 30+ minute delay on Broadcastify.
As a small percentage of jagoffs ventilate one another with reckless abandon, we diligently record, document and illustrate every misconception, downward trending, mostly peaceful event. Your support in any amount is greatly appreciated.
If you’d like to support others in the Chicago Scanner community, we ask that you please support those who provide everyone with up to the minute news and information including – Spot News, Chicago Scanner, CrimeIsDown.com & Solutions & Resources Street Pastors
Hosting: Tired of shitty hosting services? We moved over to Nexcess two years ago and have had nothing but a positive experience. It’s never too late to start that cat blog you’ve been dreaming about. This referral link helps pay for our hosting fees and in turn you get a quality host.
Email: You get what you pay for and that includes email. Proton Mail is a quality email platform with an ad-free privacy bent. This referral link helps pay for our email fees and in turn you’ll get a free month of service.
Ad Blockers: We do make a few pennies from ad revenue, so if you wouldn’t mind whitelisting us if you run an ad blocker that would be super.
Brave Users: click on the BAT triangle in the address bar to either send a tip or make a monthly standing contribution. If you’re not using the Brave browser, you should be.
Why can’t we be friends? Well, we are with these fine folks and you should be too. Check ’em and let them know HeyJackass! sent you.
We compile our own dataset using the following sources: Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Homicide Watch Chicago (no longer updated), DNAInfo Chicago (out of business), Chicago Redeye Homicide Tracker (long gone), NBC5 Chicago, Chicago Tribune’s Shooting Tracker (no longer updated) & Homicide Tracker (declared dead), Sun-Times Homicide Tracker, Cook County Medical Examiner, CPD’s Historical Data Set, City of Chicago Data Portal, Chicago Police Department Arrest Record Search, CPD CLEARMAP, Various CPD Dashboards, ISP Expressway Shooting Dashboard, CPD’s Media Major Incident Notifications and the needlessly woke Chicago Violence Reduction Dashboard.
Community areas and neighborhoods are determined by Crimeisdown.com’s most excellent Incident Map or the Chicago Tribune’s Boundaries App.
Editor’s note: All murders are homicides, but not all homicides are murders. We count homicides, whereas the CPD counts murders. A homicide, or a non-fatal shooting, regardless of type or by whom, within the city limits of Chicago counts towards our total metric, including anything on the expressways. CPD-involved, ISP-involved and justifiable homicides all count. Reckless homicides may count if the Medical Examiner rules that the cause of death was a homicide. Suicides do not count. Additional definitions can be found on the Glossary page.
All statistics, metrics, charts, graphs and other visualizations are preliminary based on the data available at the time. All incidents are subject to further analysis or change.
