See the reporting landscape.Read the signal carefully.
Explore official suspicious reporting patterns across the United States and Canada— from national context to county and postal-area detail.
Suspicious reporting activity
Signals, not scores. Volume is not proof of criminal activity or a jurisdiction risk rating.
Useful context before conclusions
The atlas makes public reporting patterns easier to explore while keeping source limits visible.
Reporting intensity is not crime intensity.
SARs and STRs record suspicion reported by regulated entities. More volume can reflect a larger customer base, controls, sector concentration or filing practice.
Location means different things.
FinCEN generally locates reported activity, with fallback rules. FINTRAC locates the reporting entity. The maps are useful but not directly equivalent.
Totals are not always unique filings.
A U.S. SAR can include multiple locations, institution types and activity selections. “All” views are displayed counts, not a deduplicated caseload.
Local detail has explicit limits.
FinCEN derives county from reported ZIP. Canada maps only exact three-character FSAs; suppressed one- and two-character values are never spread across smaller areas.
Trace every layer to its origin
Public, reproducible sources. No proprietary risk labels and no individual SAR or STR records.
