How safe is my neighborhood? If you are asking yourself the same question, you may want to visit Crime Reports' website to check and see how your neighborhood ranks among other Philadelphia neighborhoods. Crime Reports' website provides citizens and area businesses with direct access to Philadelphia Police Department's crime data. Once you type in an address, your neighborhood will come up on a map and you will be provided with a visual graphic including information on assaults with a deadly weapon, sexual assault, theft, stolen vehicles, robbery, breaking and entering and even registered sex offenders in the area. The website allows the user to adjust the date range (3-30 days) or single out information on a specific type of crime.
This is a great tool for residents to use, allowing them to visualize where the crimes are taking place and see patterns that emerge of certain types of crime in a specific area. Check it out and see where your neighborhood stands.
