Crime Reports on Google Maps
By Daniel | July 14, 2008
CrimeReports.com is a source for law enforcement agencies to share crime data with the public. The data is provided in an interactive map format powered by Google Maps. You can choose the types of crime displayed such as theft, assault, property crime, traffic, etc… You can also subscribe to receive reports in your email, and view their analytic page and view crime trends and percentages. There are currently 31 states that have law enforcement agencies that participate, and as time goes on, the number should increase to include more cities. The map below shows which states currently have cities with data available, shaded darker.
This website is useful for viewing the amount of crime in particular neighborhoods where you may be looking to purchase a house. This website also provides a tool for monitoring your current neighborhood or finding trends such as a rise in vehicle theft or home robberies. Data from law enforcement agencies is updated at least once every 24 hours and is free for the public.
