I previously posted about our thirst for immediate news and a goal we have to increase the frequency of crime maps from weekly to daily. We may have a solution just around the corner and ask for some feedback from you, the consumer of this information.
SpotCrime.com is interested in taking daily reports from us and incorporating them into a crime map with multiple search options, including daily, any date range you select, or by crime category. The company usually targets larger jurisdictions, but they have an interest in the Lakeland market.
Check out a Lakeland PD crime map and let us know what you think. Leave a comment here, send me a tweet on Twitter (LakelandPD), or send me an e-mail. We look forward to your feedback and comments.

I think this is a great service. I just mentioned the regular Google crime map to a young man selling ADT door to door. Being able to show a trend using one map will just make the information that much more helpful. Knowledge is power, so they say.
