Free Crime Mapping App From Larimer Sheriff

Have you ever wondered just how safe your neighborhood is? A free Crime Mapping app from the Larimer Sheriff will let you see just what is going on in your area.

Recent crime incidents are displayed on a map or listed in a grid.  Users can click on an incident for more information or display a hotspot map based on the crimes that are currently in display.  The system automatically syncs with the Larimer County Sheriff's Office records system to keep crime information updated online and in the mobile app.

On top of the maps, residents can sign up for a neighborhood watch report that will email you a breakdown of recent crime activity in their area. You can set that up to email you daily, weekly or monthly.

Now one drawback to the app is that the mapping system includes only crimes occurring within unincorporated Larimer County and does not include crimes occurring within city limits unless those cases are handled by the Larimer County Sheriff's Office.

Even so, it seems like kind of a cool little tool to have at your disposal.
