Police log messages around the address, last 90 days

What this does not say
Quoted verbatim from the section’s warnings field, exactly as the API returns it. They are not translated: a translation would show something other than what your response actually contains.
- Operations-centre messages, not reported crimes: what the police chose to publish about incidents they attended, geocoded to the settlement or road they name (a distance is to that place). Categories are Politiet's own. Counts are for the 5 km circle over the last 90 days; the kommune-level crime statistics are in the crime section.
- latest_incidents carries each message's category, area and time, never its text: Politiloggen's messages describe the people involved ("en mann i 40-årene") at a named street, which near one address can identify them.
Fields
10 of 11 fields are value fields — the ones that decide whether a record actually says anything. The rest are context: identifiers, codes and timestamps. Fields marked “open” return values to anonymous callers; the rest require a key.
