Online crime map helps keep public informed
The
West Jordan Police Department is participating in an online crime mapping program that will allow residents to input their address and view
crime statistics for their area. The CrimeReports.com site is free to the public and
includes optional e-mail updates.
The map empowers viewers by informing them of criminal activity in their area
and enabling them to make informed decisions to help improve the safety of their
families, friends, property and community.
The PD believes the map is a useful tool that can help raise awareness and
encourage viewers to work cooperatively with law enforcement. However, there are
some limitations to be aware of before viewing the map:
· The
base maps used by CrimeReports.com can be dated or contain errors. Some addresses –
especially new neighborhoods – may not be available. The City of West Jordan has no control over the CrimeReports.com website and their
mapping tools.
· Although
the PD provides the statistical data to CrimeReports.com, the PD doesn’t control how it is
interpreted in the analytical section of CrimeReports.com. The charts and graphs depicted on the site are created and maintained by
CrimeReports.com.
· In
order to protect victims of certain crimes and the security of pending investigations,
CrimeReports.com has not been given access to all crime data. Therefore, the data used on the CrimeReports.com analytical section is
incomplete and should only be used as an informational tool. The West Jordan Police Department has accurate charts and graphs available to
the public in its Annual Report and Budget Reports, which can be found online at www.wjordan.com.
