VANCOUVER POLICE DEPARTMENT LAUNCHES NEW CRIME MAP
Posted: May 14th, 2012 2:57 PM
On May 14, 2012 the Vancouver Police Department launched a new crime mapping tool on the VPD homepage (www.vanpolice.org). The new crime map, through Crimereports.com, allows users to search for crimes by date range, by crime type, to receive alerts when crimes occur within a specific area, to submit an anonymous tip, which goes directly to Crime Stoppers of Oregon, or view crime mapping information on an IPhone via the Crimereports.com IPhone application.
This new mapping tool provides more information and has more user friendly features than the previous crime map and allows users to select only the crimes they want to view and set up defined areas to view. Crime locations are referenced by hundred block and cross street. Information is uploaded to the map daily from Vancouver Police Department reports.
This new crime map posts information that was difficult to locate with the prior system or required the assistance of law enforcement personnel to query. The new VPD crime map provides users easy to access crime information 24/7.
The Vancouver Police Department is very excited to utilize this technology in an effort to provide increased access to information to the citizens of Vancouver.
