SpotCrime - The Public's Crime Map

SpotCrime has been mapping Buffalo metropolitan area for quite a while now.  In addition to a Buffalo SpotCrime map, we also have a Cheektowaga , North Tonawanda and Niagara County maps. Buffalo is the second most populated city in New York state and is the largest populated upstate city with a population of over 260k people.   Cheektowaga is located east of Buffalo with a population of 94,000 North Tonawanda has 31,570 people Niagara County , home of Niagara Falls, has 216,470 people...a grand total of 602,040! SpotCrime receives feeds from the departments to map the data and is very proud to see data transparency in north eastern cities, particularly in New York state , and from departments of different sizes.  Ironically, we still have not established a crime data feed with the NYPD - one of the biggest departments in the US .

SpotCrime is now mapping crime in  Niagara County, NY ! The county is located in western New York on the border of the Niagara River and Canada.  Niagara County holds many lakes and parks, including the famous Niagara Falls .  It has a population of approximately 214,500.  Niagara County Sheriff's Office supplies the information to SpotCrime.  The SpotCrime map and crime alerts are a great way for the police and residents to connect in order keep an eye out for crime in the area. Head to the department's website to find helpful crime prevention tips on things like ' Street Sense ' or a Neighborhood Watch Program . Just recently, the Niagara County Drug Task Force helped in a drug bust across 4 counties that led to over 50 arrests!  The investigation took about a year, but the participating police departments seized over $30k in drug money, many different drugs (including prescription drugs, heroin, crack, marijuana), scales and handguns.  Check out the MyLocalCri
