Thank your PD - We're All on the Same Crime Fighting Team

Our police departments work hard to keep you safe - especially during the holidays, natural disasters, and even through tough economic times resulting in cuts in resources within the police force.

Contact your local PD - give them a BIG Thank You for doing what they do (even if you recently got a ticket for doing 5 over in a school zone...and your right headlight was out...and you forgot to put your updated registration in your glove box because your husband forgot to give it to you...) They work hard and are willing to risk their life to keep our neighborhoods safe.

If the area your police department patrols is mapped on SpotCrime, make sure to also give a BIG Thank You for making crime data available for the public to use. Public data belongs in the hands of the public. If data is mapped on SpotCrime, it is likely your police department is making the data easy to access for the public. (We like the word public - can you tell?)

If the area your department patrols is not on SpotCrime, ask them to send data our way. We've found that inquiries from residents go a long way - and sometimes, departments are so busy patrolling neighborhoods, they haven't heard of SpotCrime yet. Let them know that if they send data to SpotCrime, we will map it and send alerts - for free. 

Feel free to tell them to contact us here

Thanks again for subscribing

SpotCrime wouldn't be possible without you!
