Ohio is Mapped on SpotCrime!

Image
Screenshot of Mansfield, OH  on SpotCrime SpotCrime is now mapping public data from hundreds of police agencies in Ohio. If you are an Ohio subscriber you may have noticed that some of your alerts included more data than normal. That’s because some of the data we uploaded was from 2014. Interested in up-to-date data and crime alerts for your Ohio town ? Let us know and let your local police department know! Ask them to make up-to-date crime data available. Suggest they post it on their website in an open format - meaning it’s available for anyone to view, use, and share (not just SpotCrime!). Up-to-date data will allow us to send our daily and weekly alerts. And it will allow you to be a better informed citizen. Stay aware, stay safe!

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 .

Our media partners, ABC6  and FOX28 out of Columbus, host SpotCrime maps on their Fighting Back section of their site. Check out the Franklin County map and other Columbus areas we're mapping under the Fighting Back Area Crime Maps on ABC6 here . Make sure to check out ABC6 of FOX28 for yo...
