The High Point Police Department is upgrading the Web-based resources available to the public. To search for reported incidents go to www.crimemapping.com. This site allows users to search for crime around any High Point address, set up an alert to receive email if a crime is reported near an address, and customize the look of the map to include satellite images.
The site employs icons, such as a ski mask for robberies and a dollar sign ($) for thefts and larcenies, to help spot certain crimes quickly and easily. Users can even find out how close they are to the incidents. (See a screen grab below.)
The existing Web site, Police 2 Citizen (P2C), remains the same. P2C allows citizens to access and print online accident and incident reports, view a daily bulletin of activity, report a non-emergency crime or problem, and search for incident reports at or near an address.
