Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Brian Fox, a former Garda Analyst with a postgraduate degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice. After years in law enforcement and data-analytics roles, I recognised how hard it was for people to access clear information on local crime trends, with heavy reliance on news headlines. Crimestats.ie solves for this, turning raw, cumbersome data into easy-to-explore insights that add value to communities and help them understand what’s happening in their area.
Our Mission & Values
Data Driven
We aggregate publicly available datasets and transform raw numbers into clear, interactive insights.
Community Focused
Our tools are designed to empower communities, journalists, and researchers to explore what is happening in their locality.
Open & Transparent
We believe in open data. All statistics come straight from authoritative sources and are never altered or manipulated.
