The St. Joseph Police Department now has an online crime map called RAIDS Online that maps and analyzes crime data, alerts St. Joseph citizens about crimes in their area, and allows police  to quickly alert the public about crimes as they occur.

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 and image about a crime directly to the St. Joseph Police Dept.

RAIDS Online automatically syncs with the St. Joseph Police Dept.’s records system to keep crime information updated online and in the mobile app. RAIDS Online cleans and geocodes the crime data, then displays all of the incidents on a map, grid and analytics dashboard along with some basic information about the incidents, including the type of crime, location type, block-level address, date and time.

Raids Online can be easily accessed by visiting the St. Joseph Police Dept. website here.
