Crime Mapping

The St. Anthony Police Department and LexisNexis Risk Solutions, recently partnered to provide a new way for the public to stay informed about crime in both St. Anthony and Lauderdale. The St. Anthony Police Department now has an online crime map called Community Crime Map that maps and analyzes crime data, alerts St. Anthony and Lauderdale citizens about crimes in their area, and allows the St Anthony Police to quickly alert the public about crimes as they occur. 

St. Anthony and Lauderdale citizens can view a map and grid with all of the crimes in their area, sign up for neighborhood watch reports that automatically email a breakdown of recent crime activity, and submit an anonymous tip about a crime directly to their law enforcement agency. Community Crime Map automatically syncs with the St. Anthony Police Department’s records system to keep crime information updated online and in the mobile app. Community Crime Map cleans and geocodes the crime data, then displays all of the incidents on a map, grid and analytics dashboard along with some basic information about the incidents, including the type of crime, location type, block-level address, date and time. 

Typically, agencies can spend thousands of dollars annually through other crime-mapping providers. LexisNexis Risk Solutions offers Community Crime Map and the Community Crime Map Mobile app as a free service to any law enforcement agency that wishes to participate. Community Crime Map is ad-free and LexisNexis Risk Solutions does not sell the data to third party vendors, thus the agency remains in complete control over their data.
