Track St. Petersburg crime in your neighborhood
Hey, congrats to the St. Petersburg Police Department for making it to the 21st century!
Next month, Chief Chuck Harmon will officially unveil the SPPD’s participation in CrimeReports.com, a crime map tracking service for us common folk. For the very crime-conscious neighborhoods of St. Pete, this is fairly exciting. CrimeReports.com allows you to search your neighborhood for crimes, provides e-mail alerts and maps all the sexual predators throughout the city.
Best of all for reporters like me, this site can easily track crime trends in certain neighborhoods. Hey look! A homicide on the north side. I don’t remember hearing about that!
If you want to hear the official ra-ra over the site, Chief Harmon is leading a presentation at the Sunshine Center on Oct. 6 around 7 p.m.
it would be nice if they made the data public and not provide it to one entity- then other companies could map the data for free.
Great point!
