More than a hundred retired New York Police Department captains and higher-ranking officers said in a survey that the intense pressure to produce annual crime reductions led some supervisors and precinct commanders to manipulate crime statistics, according to two criminologists studying the department.

What Crimes are shown on the Map? -show me-

Rapes and sex offenses are not displayed on the map. The Sheriff’s Office did not include these offense locations to protect the privacy of the victims. Please refer to the UCR table for 2007.

The crimes on the site are updated twice a month with three months of data shown on the map. Every attempt will be made to have the updates on the site by the 15th and 30th of each month.

How do the Crimes get on the Map? -show me-

Each month offense report data is downloaded in table format from the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office Records Management System. This table has many fields, two of which are the offense and the address. This information is imported into a GIS (Geographic Information System) program, ArcGIS, which runs the CrimeView extension. CrimeView uses the County’s street data to “geocode” or match the crime address to the appropriate street segment. Once it finds this, it places a point. The type of point is determined by the offense (see the legend on the map for various symbology).

How Do I get Started? -show me-

There are three ways of viewing the crimes on the map. You can either select a neighborhood or a zip code from the two dropdown lists on the left. Otherwise, you can use the zoom tool to zoom in on a particular area of the county. The neighborhood list is not a complete list. If you do not see your neighborhood listed, please check back as neighborhoods will continue to be added.

Motor Vehicle Theft

Eugene, Ore. -- Six weeks ago, Eugene Police unveiled a new method of fighting burglaries and theft, called data-led policing.

 

 

The data leads them to hot spots of crime, and right now, that's Aerial Way off Barger Drive. The area saw a jump in burglaries and theft recently, so police are spending the weekend with more officers patroling the area, and a theft-prevention team knocking on doors.

With this in mind, how would we want to view data about crime in our neighborhood?  If that's the most relevant data to us, hopefully it's with neighborhood boundary data, because from it you will be able to generate accurate demographic data about neighborhood regions and also pull up relevant crime reports.  Like we said in a previous post, neighborhoods are broken down often times by natural boundaries.  By natural boundaries we mean freeways, rivers, mountains, etc.  So as you would imagine, crime is very different on one side of the freeway and the other, and like wise, it's very different in one part of town and another.

Crime Mapping

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department recently added a FREE, easy-to-use web-based service for sharing crime data with the public, in near real-time. Community members can now access their neighborhood crime information for free, empowering them to make informed decisions to help improve the safety of their families, friends, property and the community at large.  Neighborhood Watch and Crime Free Multi-Housing groups can stay informed as to the events that are occurring within their communities.

Information is updated every 24 hours, so the information citizens obtain is timely and accurate, not days or weeks old. The accurate information can then be seen in a variety of ways; through crime mapping and through analytics. Crime mapping allows users to type in a specific address of interest (i.e. school, home, office), within the unincorporated areas of Pima County and now the communities of Marana, Sahuarita, and Oro Valley, choose crime types, set dates or a variety of all three, and click “Get Report” to see them plotted on the map. (NOTE: incidents occurring at addresses within the Tucson or South Tucson city limits are not tracked by Pima County.) The user can then click on each event plotted to gather more details about the incident that occurred, to include the case report number. The map can be manipulated to show a variety of views from street level or satellite views. The user can also pan and zoom to get varying viewpoints. Analytics allows users to obtain statistics, track trends, and view graphs and charts for crimes in Pima County. The graphs and charts come in handy for a variety of uses, to include presentations at Neighborhood Watch meetings.

As mentioned, the service is absolutely free. Individual user membership is not required; however, if a citizen chooses to sign up for free membership through the service provider, the site will save settings and provide updated information every time the user logs on.  Also, the user can obtain community alerts, including crimes that have occurred in their area.   These alerts are sent to the user’s email address. The user determines how often the alerts are received by choosing the setting that works best for them, daily weekly monthly, etc. Sex offender notifications and mapping will be available later this fall.

Access all of this information by selecting “Crime Mapping” on our website at www.pimasheriff.org <http://www.pimasheriff.org/> .

In addition, our service provider, CrimeReports.com <http://www.crimereports.com/> provides crime statistics for numerous law enforcement agencies around the United States. Over 500 agencies are represented on their website.  If you find yourself needing timely crime mapping data for other areas, check their site for many communities in Arizona and across the country.

The long arm of the law on Cape Cod just got a bit longer.

Police in Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis are collaborating on a new program to share more information on criminals and crime "hot spots" that often cross town borders.

The initiative, known as Mid-CAIP (crime analysis and intelligence program), consists of a full-time analyst at the Barnstable Police Department who gathers information from liaisons at the Yarmouth and Dennis departments, distributes a weekly criminal activity bulletin and produces a warrant list for all three towns.
