Get flash to see this player
USERS CAN LOG ON TO CRIMEMAPPING.COM AND SEARCH BY THE LOCATION, DATE, AND OR TYPE OF CRIME LIKE ASSAULTS, BURGLARIES, OR CRIMES INVOLVING A WEAPON. ALL ADDRESSES ARE ROUNDED UP TO THE NEAREST HUNDRED BLOCK TO PROTECT PROPLE'S PRIVACY. LT PETERSON WITH THE ARCATA POLICE DEPARTMENT EXPLAINED TO NEWS CHANNEL 3 HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS. RIGHT NOW, THE PLAZA AREA IS CLUTTERED WITH DIFFERENT SYMBOLS. THE DOLLAR SIGN INDICATES THEFT OR LARCENY, THE BLACK ICON WITH THE WHITE MASK REPRESENTS BURGLARY AND THE QUESTION MARK SHOWS MULTIPLE CRIMES AT THAT LOCATION.
