This message was recently released from the City of Menifee:
The City of Menifee Police Department places a high value on both transparency and community involvement in policing. To support these values, Menifee PD is excited to introduce a new crime mapping tool to the Menifee community.
Crime mapping allows community members to see where within the city crimes are occurring. By knowing where crimes are taking place and the general types of crimes happening, residents and businesses can be aware of what to look out for and then report any suspicious activity to the Menifee Police Department.
CrimeMapping.com helps law enforcement agencies throughout North America provide the public with valuable information about recent crime activity in their neighborhoods. The goal is to assist police departments in reducing crime through better informed communities. Creating more self-reliance among community members is a great benefit to community-oriented policing efforts everywhere and has been proven effective in combating crime. CrimeMapping.com utilizes an advanced mapping engine, which helps provide a high level of functionality as well as flexibility to police agencies. Crime data will be extracted on a regular basis from Menifee Police Department’s records system so that the information being viewed through the online system is the most current available. This data is always verified for accuracy and all address information is generalized by block to help ensure privacy is protected.
The Menifee Police Department wants the community to be aware of what is going on in their neighborhood. If you know that suspicious activities are happening, please contact Menifee PD. For additional information about this new community-focused technology, please contact the Menifee Police Department at (951) 723-1500.
