Online Crime Site for Sunnyvale


Are you as depressed from following the stock market online as I am? Here's another site to check out.
The Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety and eight other Santa Clara County law enforcement agencies are now sending their crime and incident information to a web service, CrimeReports.com. This flagship product of a company called Public Engines in Salt Lake City displays information on a Google map. It will tell you exactly where and when someone steals, robs or assaults someone in your neighborhood.
You enter your address and manipulate the map, sorting by crime, date and distance.
You can even sign up for email alerts about crimes near your home. This data is updated every 24 hours. Another source of information is crimestats.insunnyvale.com.
