Clearwater Crime Map Now Available

CLEARWATER, FL — Clearwater residents who want to keep close tabs on crimes within the city have a new way to do so courtesy of a partnership between the police department and BAIR Analytics.

The two have released a new crime map system called RAIDS Online that maps and analyzes crime data from within the city limits. The program also enables residents to receive alerts about crimes in their area and lets the police department notify residents quickly about crimes as they occur.

“Clearwater citizens can view a map and grid with all of the crimes in their area, sign up for neighborhood watch reports that automatically email a breakdown of recent crime activity, and submit an anonymous tip about a crime directly to their law enforcement agency,” the police department explained in an email to media. “RAIDS Online automatically syncs with the department's records system to keep crime information updated online and in the mobile app.”

Residents who want to keep up with local crime can do so by visiting http://www.raidsonline.com/?address=Clearwater%20FL.

"We are excited to offer this new product to the residents of Clearwater in conjunction with BAIR Analytics," Police Chief Dan Slaughter said in a statement. "It will help keep our residents informed of what is happening in their community and also provide a way for them to help us via the TIP411 system."
