SOUTH PORTLAND — The
South Portland Police Department announced last week that it has partnered with Bair
Analytics to offer “RAIDS Online”, a free online crime mapping solution
intended to connect law enforcement with the community in order to reduce crime
and improve
public
safety by enhancing
community awareness, communication and partnerships.
RAIDS
Online provides a map that depicts most crime reports, similar to an
old-fashioned “pin map,” and allows residents to visualize crime in the city or
their particular neighborhood. It will provide on the date, time, crime type,
general location, and case number related to the incident.
Police
officials hope this will allow residents, visitors and business owners to be
better informed about criminal activity and trends, so they can make the most
informed decisions about their safety and the safety and protection of their
property.
RAIDS
Online will also allow users to subscribe to daily, weekly
or monthly email neighborhood watch reports,
allowing residents to stay automatically informed of recent crime activity in
their area of concern. It also allows
the public the ability to submit anonymous
tips to the department on
any crime report.
The
service can be accessed at www.raidsonline.com or www.southportland.org/pd.
A
free mobile app is also available and is compatible with iPhone, iPad Touch, or iPad.
Users
should search for “RAIDS Online
Mobile” at the App Store.
An Android app is planned soon.
