About
A faster way to identify the right charge.
CalCrimes is a decision-support reference for California criminal charges. Answer a few guided questions and it surfaces the applicable offense, its classification and penalty range, the elements to articulate, what to document, and common pitfalls — drawn from the Penal, Vehicle, and Health & Safety Codes.
It is built for the people who work these cases every day: peace officers, prosecutors, public defenders, paralegals, and law and academy students.
Grounded in the codes
Every result cites the controlling statute and tracks the CALCRIM elements a court would apply.
Kept current
Updated for recent law — Prop 36 (2024), AB 2622 and SB 1107 (2025), and statutes effective 2026.
Verification-first
Designed to support professional judgment — not replace it. Every output is meant to be checked against the source.
For Agencies

Departments, district attorney and public defender offices, and training academies can license CalCrimes for their personnel — as a training aid, an onboarding tool for new officers and attorneys, and a quick field and desk reference that stays current as the law changes.
