Frequently Asked Questions

What is Crime Mapping?

Crime Mapping was developed by CentralSquare Technologies to help law enforcement agencies throughout the United States provide the public with valuable information about recent crime activity in their neighborhood. The group aims to assist police departments in reducing crime through a better-informed community.

CrimeMapping.com utilizes an advanced mapping engine, which helps provide a high level of functionality as well as flexibility to police agencies.

A similar mapping software was available, but went away. Why was it gone?

A similar crime reporting map went away in 2022 after a decision was made not to renew the contract with a previous vendor. Mayor Tishaura O. Jones and Police Chief Robert Tracy have been seeking a new vendor ever since. We’re proud of our new agreement with CrimeMapping.com!
