Tools to see crime in your area
« on: May 24, 2016, 07:08:05 PM »
Found a few interesting things lately. First, an interactive map of crime in a given area and more including an automailer of selected crime alerts in a selected radius of a given address! Here's my city:

While strictly local to my parish (county), something similar may exist in your area, this is the Caddo 911 ACTIVE EMERGENCY EVENTS page, an auto updated list of 911 calls in the parish:

On my iPhone, I use "5-0 Radio Pro" as a police/fire radio scanner:

Anyone else know of any such useful tools that are out there?
I might not last very long or be very effective but I'll be a real pain in the ass for a minute!
MOLON LABE!

Looks like there's only one municipality in my entire country that reports to wherever this site gets its data -- and it ain't my municipality.

CSPAN

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Either yer not big enough or need more crime. Personally, I'd shoot for the former.

Nope. The one municipality with hits is a small, suburban town. The nearby city, which I know has a lot of crime, shows zero results. I'm not surprised -- they do their best to hide the statistics.

Where's my sarsam tag? Oh wait, if I post it, it's sarcastic! Are you new here? (sorry, my bad)
