njvisitor Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Pearland Police Department's new Crime Tracker: http://gisweb2.ci.pearland.tx.us/web/crime/index.cfmAs reported by Robert Stanton at "Inside Pearland"Pearlanders now have a new way to fight crime, and it's right at their fingertips, courtesy of a new Web site launched by the Pearland Police Department. By simply entering an address into the new Crime Tracker Mapping program, residents are able to access crime stats for their neighborhood. There are two ways to access the information -- a Radius Summary Crime Tracker that generates a half-mile summary of reported crimes, along with a map and bar graph listing the crimes; and an Interactive Crime Tracker that displays an aerial view of the entire city.So, I've been messing with for a bit. It's a little complicated and has a few bugs, but it's a fantastic concept. Seeing that little box on your street indicating a robbery will undoubtely make you more vigilant. Glad to see that the PD is embracing the power of the internet...It takes a few minutes to get the hang of it, but it's definitly worth it. Warning: this technology is not for paranoid people...

marmer Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 The interactive part only works with IE on Windows. Won't work on a Mac even with the latest (admittedly old) version of Mac IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
