SpotCrime - The Public's Crime Map

After almost two years of work, SpotCrime is now mapping Franklin County ! Our quest to start mapping Franklin County started with our interest in mapping all crime in Columbus, OH . Franklin County itself is the second largest county in Ohio (followed by Cuyahoga County which holds Cleveland), Columbus is Franklin County's seat and the largest city in Ohio. Franklin County has a population of over 1 million, so naturally we'd be interested in mapping what happens in the city and county - crime knows on boundaries. You can also find the largest university in the US in Franklin County - The Ohio State University. We're mapping crime available from Ohio State on UCrime.com .
