How/Why:  
The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office and Pinellas County Government have launched a new and improved ‘Crime Viewer’ website. The website, developed through a cooperative effort between the Sheriff’s Office and County BTS, is a mapping program designed to assist citizens in gathering information about crime in their community.

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office and other municipal police departments have partnered to contribute crime data for the new and improved mapping program. Once on the website, citizens are able to enter their address, city or zip code to view the various types of crime in that specific area.

Search filters are in place to allow users to narrow down their search by specific crime type, such as burglary, assault, robbery, theft and vandalism. Users are also able to search by agency and date of occurrence. Search buffers allow citizens to search within a .5 mile to 3 mile radius of their community. Search results are able to be viewed on the map itself or exported for citizen’s use.

‘Crime Viewer’ also works on mobile devices in order to maximize usability.  An email notification feature is also available for users, by simply entering an email address after searching a specific location.
