Police Collision Match Kitsap County, WA

Tows that look like collisions but have no matching WSP report yet: the report isn't filed (PTCR filing lag is real and sometimes days), the call came long after the crash, or it fits more than one crash and the tool won't guess. Each drops from the tool 7 days after the call unless the vehicle is still impounded.

These stay on the map regardless of age or match: the vehicle is still on the lot, an open liability whether or not WSP ever files a matching report.

Disabled vehicles and other non-collision tows an officer ordered, from the last 7 days. No crash report is expected; they're here for context.

These will plot at a rough point (or the wrong one): a house-number range, no number or cross street, a mile marker, or a house number no geocoder can find on that road. Worth fixing in the dispatch system while the call is fresh: a real street number, an intersection (e.g. "Kitsap Way & 11th St"), or a named business in parentheses plots best.

WSP's own CAT export occasionally has a corrupted latitude/longitude (e.g. a transposed digit) or files a crash under the wrong county. Real collision records with real match results; just not plotted, since the coordinate is wrong, not the location.

For these matches, WSP's PTCR coordinate was more than 3 miles from where the dispatch call says the truck went, so the pin uses the tow address instead. (The real tool first caught this on a report WSP placed in Shelton; the tow was from Grapeview, ~15 miles away.)

The tow address geocoded somewhere clearly outside the county (usually an address with no house number matching a same-named road elsewhere in the state). Rejected rather than trusted: the pin keeps WSP's coordinate if that one was in-bounds, otherwise the record isn't plotted.
