CrimeMapping

CrimeMapping.com is a public-facing service that helps communities access information about reported crime and sex offender activity through an interactive map. It collects data from participating law enforcement agencies by automatically importing records from their existing systems, and displays the most current information available from those agencies. Users can search near a location or select an agency to explore local data.

The service also offers personalized email alerts. Users can define areas of interest, confirm that the relevant local law enforcement agency provides data to CrimeMapping.com, and choose the crime categories or sex offender activity they want to follow. They are then notified when new activity occurs in their selected area. The site provides information about how its mapping service works, data sources, frequently asked questions, and ways to contact the organization. It encourages community members to ask their local agencies to participate, noting that participation is each department’s choice. CrimeMapping.com is associated with CentralSquare Technologies, LLC.
