Crime mapping / alert site or service

[TBacker]

Is anyone using or aware of a web site or service that lists / maps / alerts to police reports within a geographic area?

I've been thinking these days that it might be good to know where trouble lives.

One of the real estate sights does that.

Trulia: Real Estate Listings, Homes For Sale, Housing Data

Your destination for all real estate listings and rental properties. Trulia.com provides comprehensive school and neighborhood information on homes for sale in your market.

Put in a city and pick a house in the area and click on crime. It'll map it and give you the report dates, info.

Do a search of your county 911. Oneida county posts all 911 calls in real time.

This isn't mapped but this is Monroe County. Lots of "parking complaints".

911 Incidents | Monroe County, NY

MonroeCounty.gov is the official site of Monroe County, New York providing online services and information for residents, businesses, municipalities and visitors.

I found the same list that goes back historically . Monroe County, NY 911 Feed Collator

As expected. Monroe County 911 covers the suburbs as well, but they are barely a blip on any of this.

If you are planning to move in the near future I think census demographic data is more important than ever to know what type of an area you are moving to and what the area will be like.

I will certainly be looking if I'm lucky enough to get out of NY.
