Colton PD Shares Crime Data
On June 10, 2010, the Colton Police Department went live with CrimeMapping.com in an effort to
proactively share information with the public. The Web site allows residents to see a map of recent crime activity
near an address. Users can select crime types and date ranges, generate reports, and subscribe to Crime Alerts and
receive updates when new crimes occur via e-mail. Citizens are now able to view exactly what types of crime are
occurring as well as where and when they are being committed.
CrimeMapping, created by the Omega Group and powered by ESRI, represents a high level of accuracy in locating each
incident by address and converting the information to a format that is Web browser compatible. The Colton Police
Department can now provide a new level of transparency to the community it serves.
