I pulled down the csv file. The SECTOR column changes from sector ids to what looks like PSA ids around September 2009.
I'm looking to thematic map crime changes over time by sectors.

The metadata lists the coordinate system as "WGS84 Web Mercator" but the data is in latitude/longitude. It should probably be "WGS84 decimal degrees".

The breadth of this data is great, though I wish it were linked to Court system in some way to track defendants. I initially had some trouble loading visualizing this data as a map in Google Fusion -- it was not automatically georeferencing -- but I was able to fix that by importing into Carto DB and exporting as a new .csv.

This entry is coming up in Ohio because the longitude is off, and it's not clear what the exact address is: 6 1 2011-12-01 18:06:00 2011-12-01 18:06:00 18 Confidential 679\2 N 13TH ST 200 195178 Rape 195178 -84.69369121 39.1207947

Still studying the data and working out how to combine searches in a ruby app, but so far useful and easy to work with

Thanks for this invaluable data.
During analysis, I found that 2,020 of the latitudes and longitudes provided are not inside Philadelphia. Some had the latitude and the longitude reversed; others were in Ohio (as stated by jchoffmann913). The latter were not a simple number swaps, something seems to have gone awry.
