Knowing is half the battle, people, and the Charlottesville Police Department wants to keep you informed. That said, a press release from the local police department announced the public launch of the city’s CrimeView Community website, which has been quietly mapping local crime statistics. The site is prominently linked from the Charlottesville Police’s homepage, similar to Albemarle County Police Department’s link to CrimeReports.com.
To test the site, C-VILLE looked at all mapped incidents reported in the last year in the "Downtown police neighborhood," which yielded a total of 231 incidents. Try your own searches here, and let us know what you think of the site below.
