Knowing is half the battle.

 

Today, the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department unveiled a new website that allows users to map crime anywhere in the city.  You can search the past two years for a complete array of crimes relative to an address, and the mapping software will display the location of each incident.  Pretty damn cool if you ask me.

 

Just thought I'd share and solicit comments.  I have to imagine such a tool would be helpful for residents in other large cities as well.

That is cool. Way better then the alternative here, which is NeoCando (http://neocando.case.edu)

 

The DC map looks much better and gives better data (only a few days old vs. last year for Cleveland)... unless somebody knows of a better one here.

 

 

i like the icon for robbery excluding gun.
