Mapping Crime

By: Mr. Wilson on June 12, 2008
Police Chief Tom Casady announced a new crime mapping tool called, well, Crime Mapping that includes some nifty features for quickly seeing what's going on near a particular address. It's short on details of the crimes, but it's handy for a quick glance. One cool feature is the ability to be notified about crimes that occur near an address you specify. Want to know if somebody is assaulted within a mile of your house? Register for a notification and you'll get an e-mail whenever an assault is reported.

I’m a fan of the current CrimeView system.  I agree - the notification is a cool feature with Crime Mapping.  But I love how CrimeView gives you the dirt about the report just by clicking on the icon.  For instance - a vandalism near 56th & Normal: “THREW LRG CUP OF BBQ SAUCE ON VEH/ALSO STAINED UPHOLSTERY”  Love it.  Where’s this on your new-fangled map??  haha
