Frequently Asked Questions about Crimereports.com
What is Crimereports.com?
Crimereports.com provides software and services to law enforcement agencies to improve collaboration between the police and members of the local community. We believe that an open, continuous dialogue with the community is a key component of community policing and fighting crime. The MPDC has been a partner with Crimereports.com since July 1999, and is the largest agency that participates in the program.
I’m a District resident. What type of information does Crimereports.com provide?
Five days a week, the MPDC produces a summary of all serious (“Index”) crimes recently reported in each of the seven police districts in DC. These summaries are posted to the Crimereports.com Web site and are simultaneously emailed to all subscribers to each police district’s mailing list. In addition to the crime summaries, the MPDC uses the service to send out a weekly e-newsletter, as well as periodic neighborhood crime alerts, data on wanted suspects and information about new police programs and services.
How much does it cost?
Currently, Crimereports.com's services are free to both residents and the Metropolitan Police Department. The service does not rely on government grants or tax dollars. Crimereports.com will become sustainable, and perhaps profitable, by teaming up with sponsors or other partners who are interested in providing this information to the public.
