Be Informed
Engaging the communities we serve is necessary to crime prevention. Crime mapping is one tool that serves that purpose and is an example of DSP’s effort to leverage technology to improve services to better inform the public. Like a virtual neighborhood, it is an opportunity to lend a hand for families who want to see what is going on in their community. It helps to reduce misinformation when people have real time data and facts. Mapping data can also act as a deterrent to crime and serve as a safety measure in community policing to allow people the opportunity to be more engaged, aware and cautious.

People who know of crime in an area is an effective tool in fostering safe communities. Subscribe to email alerts will provide you with the ability to quickly understand the activity in your neighborhood and take precautionary steps. For example being alerted to the latest burglary or theft from a vehicle on Crimemapping.com may prompt you to be more observant and cautious about locking doors and securing all of your property.
