Mapping Crime and Criminals in Your Community
Sheriff's Crime Analysts employ geographic information systems (GIS) technology to map crime and field incidents in support of crime prevention programs, problem-solving efforts, investigations and emergency operations.

Well informed people make better decisions. For cities and communities served by the Sheriff, crime reported through the previous day may be viewed on maps and received through automated e-mail alerts. The Sheriff's pilot use of Crimemapping.com, a service of San Diego-based Omega Group, includes links to crime prevention and community information via the mapped crime incidents. Learn more about this pilot program here. Timely crime information and a connection to crime prevention resources can help good decisions turn into action that reduces crime.
