Crime Mapping
What is Crime Mapping?
CrimeMapping.com has been developed by The Omega Group to help law enforcement agencies throughout North America provide the public with valuable information about recent crime activity in their neighborhood. Our goal is to assist police departments in reducing crime through a better-informed citizenry. Creating more self-reliance among community members is a great benefit to community oriented policing efforts everywhere and has been proven effective in combating crime.
CrimeMapping.com utilizes ESRI’s advanced mapping engine, which helps us provide a high level of functionality as well as flexibility to the agencies we serve. Crime data is extracted on a regular basis from each department's records system so that the information being viewed through a Web browser is the most current available. This data is always verified for accuracy and all address information is generalized by block in order to help ensure privacy is protected.
The Omega Group has been working with law enforcement agencies throughout North America since 1992. Hundreds of police and sheriff’s departments are currently using one of our desktop or Web-based CrimeView solutions for their intelligence led policing needs. CrimeMapping.com represents our nationwide public service. We understand the sensitive nature of crime data and work hard to maintain integrity as well as security with every solution we provide.
