Smaller Departments Have the Ability to Create and Maintain Their Own SpotCrime Map!

You can find a police department in pretty much every city in the US, no matter how large or small.  Each of those departments work 24/7 to keep their residents safe.  That's 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, through thick and thin, rain, shine, sleet, snow, ice...you get the idea.

Departments are working every day to create tools and programs that will help keep their communities safe.  However, for some smaller cities and departments, this may be a hard task to undertake.  They may not have the technology or capital required to create and innovate in order to keep communities informed and safe...or so they thought.  Enter SpotCrime.

SpotCrime is offering access to the Chiefs or Sheriffs of many smaller departments to map their own crime on the SpotCrime website!  Instead of paying for the technology to generate reports, the department can map the information themselves -- for free!  The population of most towns who are granted this access is normally under 10,000.  With access, police can create a crime map for their residents.  The information mapped are also visible in the SpotCrime alerts sent out to residents in their area!

Check out the most recently added Chief-Mapped city -- Calistoga, CA.  It's size does not compare to a city like Baltimore, but safety and crime prevention are still top priorities for everyone.

Calistoga, CA mapping is completed by the department themselves.  Population 5,180 and about 1.6 crimes daily.

This is a map of the Baltimore City, MD, just to get an idea of how much of an impact population has on crime reporting.

Baltimore, MD data is generated by reports provided by the BPD.  Population 637, 000 and about 93.6 crimes daily.
