This new tool alerts you to all of the crimes reported in a radius from 1/4 mile to 5 miles around the address you enter into the search engine. Obviously you should check your area and then maybe check out your parent’s neighborhood to either relieve your concerns or confirm they’re warranted. Be sure to check the little box to include sex offender’s registered addresses so they show up along with all of the crimes reported.

All you need to do is register, it’s free, and enter in your address. Then choose the radius around your home that you want to check out. It’s as easy as using Mapquest or Google maps. If your local law enforcement is not using this great tool yet please refer them to the link below.

To check it out before registering visit their Website at: Crime Reports

Refer your local law enforcement agency to this link: Law Enforcement

Here’s why the Utah based company, Public Engines, Inc., put together this great tool for us dads and law enforcement:

“CrimeReports.com was created to help law enforcement agencies put crime data in the hands of those who care about it most—citizens. While crime statistics in a specific city may be available, they may not be accessible. CrimeReports.com standardizes the way law enforcement agencies communicate crime data to the public, down to the specific neighborhood or block they live on.”
