Wanna learn how to search by date range on SpotCrime?

By Anonymous
Here are some instructions that show you how to narrow your crime data search by date on our interactive maps.

On the homepage, select the state that you want to search from the dropdown menu on the top right-hand side of the page.

Once you've selected the state that you want, hit Go. I'm going to do a date range search in Jacksonville, Florida.

Once you hit Go, a list of Florida cities are available to select from. To view the interactive map for Jacksonville, click Jacksonville Crime Map.

As you can see, the interactive maps look a bit different from the map on the homepage. There are several features that allow you to narrow down your data search, including date ranges. I'm going to search all available data for the dates of April 25th-May 2nd, 2011.

Select the from date and the to date, then hit Refresh Map.

Once the map is refreshed, only the crimes that fall within the dates of April 25th and May 2nd appear.
