Get On-Line Crime Reports For Your Neighborhood

This free site takes information from participating police departments and plots crimes against a Google Map interface...

I have it configured to send me an email summary each week:

You can also customize your reports by crime type and time frame:

Unfortunately it doesn't provide a lot of detail about each crime and there’s no info about arrests made so you don’t know if the maniacs responsible for the crime are still on the street.

A really important feature is the mapping of the homes of registered sex offenders (even includes a mug shot).

If your police department doesn’t participate then you’re out of luck.

Either way, buy a samurai sword and prepare to defend yourself!

To check out your neighborhood got to crimereports.com.
