NEIGHBORHOOD CRIME MAPPING

Free internet crime mapping service is available through CrimeReports.com that lets you see police activity that has occurred in the City on an easy to use Google-style map. You can enter a specific address and see what crime has happened in the vicinity of your neighborhood, or you can pan the map to see activity City-wide. There are a number of tools available to let you choose the time period, area and crime type you'd like to view. There's even an analytical section that shows crime data either in a table or on a graph (NOTE: in the Analytics section, you need to scroll down and select Olympia Police Department from the "Jurisdiction" drop-down list at the top left of the page - where it says "Select an Area").

Each item shown on the map includes basic data about the activity - what the activity was; what day and time it happened; where it happened; and its case identifier. With the case identifier from the map, further information about the case can then be requested by asking for a copy of the police report.

If you like, you can sign up to get automatic email notifications any time certain types of crimes happen within a specified distance from your home or business.

This is a free service. No fee is charged to access the site or use the tools. Olympia's law enforcement records partners - Lacey, Tumwater and Yelm - are also particpants in the service, so you can get the same information about our partner cities, as well.

Best,
Thad
