Crystal Lake Police Implement CrimeReports System to Connect with Community and Reduce Crime.

The Crystal Lake Police Department has joined over 1,000 agencies nationwide and launched public access to a powerful new online tool called CrimeReports, aimed at improving communications with the community and lowering crime. Citizens can now view local crime data, free of charge, in near real-time by visiting the department’s web site and clicking on the link to CrimeReports, or by visiting www.CrimeReports.com .

A primary goal at the department is to keep our streets safe, by reducing crime and the integration of this system is another way to accomplish this.

Utilizing the system, citizens will now be able to;
• View near real-time online reports of crime in the region
• Set-up daily, weekly, or monthly automated reports on a variety of crime types
• Send anonymous crime tips
• Access CrimeReports from their smart phones or other mobile devices

Citizens now have the ability to see what types of criminal activity and calls for service are occurring in their neighborhood and across the City. Certain types of incidents will not be posted, to include matters of domestic violence, and most involving juveniles. Specific information, including exact addresses of incidents, and names of victims are also excluded to protect their privacy, while the incidents of public safety and concern are still made available. The Crystal Lake Police Department encourages public feedback and participation to enhance public safety, public trust, and understanding within our community.
