Miami, FL (1888PressRelease)
June 19, 2009 - Keeping the public well informed has been proven effective in reducing crime. Many Florida law enforcement agencies are accomplishing this through the use of CrimeMapping.com provided by The Omega Group. Citrus County Sheriff, Hernando County Sheriff, Plantation and North Miami Beach Police Departments are just a few of the agencies choosing to provide their communities with easy access to crime records through a Web browser. Users can instantly study crime activity near any location as well as create simple reports and charts. The Crime Alerts feature allows users to subscribe via e-mail and automatically receive updates when new crimes occur in their area.
The crime information provided comes directly from each agency’s records management system. ESRI’s powerful mapping engine is then used to process every record by location. This way the data being provided is both accurate and timely. “We never scrape data from other Web sites as it would not only reduce our accuracy levels but also damage many of the long-term relationships we’ve formed with law enforcement staff during our seventeen-years in business” says Milan Mueller, President of The Omega Group.
Florida policing agencies understand the value data transparency as well as community oriented policing. CrimeMapping.com helps them achieve both of these goals. The service is also extremely affordable as there are no software or server costs associated with the Web based mapping system.
