Police unveil new crime database and mapping site
The Richmond Police today unveiled RAIDS Online, a new crime database and mapping site:
Crime mapping helps the public get a better idea of the crime activity in their area so they can make more informed decisions about how to stay safe. RAIDS Online goes beyond crime mapping by automatically alerting the public about recent crime activity and by improving communication between the public and law enforcement through anonymous tips. RAIDS Online empowers the public to make better decisions about crime by putting the same technology used by law enforcement to analyze and interpret crime activity into the hands of the public
You can view incidents by date, type, and location, and even sign up for a daily/weekly/monthly email notice of events in a specific area.

This is most definitely a big step up over what we have been getting from RPD.
Congratulations on making the effort.
Still not entirely accurate. The B&E on the 800 block of N 27th last week also included a stolen vehicle. That little double whammy was not reported.
@2 I think you should contact Lt. Minton on that one, it’s a good point.

Since the vehicle was taken as a result of the burglary it is considered one offense. I hope that clears this up.
I am excited that the general public has access to this information and can take an active role in keeping up with trends around them.
