Crime Reports
August 6, 2008 by david
Every so often a new tool comes along that makes you say “wow, the internet is awesome!”. Crime Reports is such a tool.
Using Google’s powerful mapping engine combined with input from local law enforcement agencies Crime Reports gives residents nearly real-time reports of all crimes reported in any geographic area selected in their neighborhood (or a relatives for that matter). If you’ve ever used Mapquest or Google Maps then you can use this with ease.
Did I mention it’s FREE?
Here’s why the Utah based company put together this great tool for us and law enforcement:
“CrimeReports.com was created to help law enforcement agencies put crime data in the hands of those who care about it most—citizens. While crime statistics in a specific city may be available, they may not be accessible. CrimeReports.com standardizes the way law enforcement agencies communicate crime data to the public, down to the specific neighborhood or block they live on.”
