ForceView allows online crime mapping to be implemented in a quarter of the time taken to do it in-house, making it an ideal solution for police forces who need to put their crime statistics online by the end of the year.

Call Paula Holdstock on 01527 556920 to request a copy of the guide or to arrange a one hour ‘planning and implementation’ overview of crime mapping, including a summary of the lessons learned to date.

She told BBC TV News today: “Last week we published statistics that showed that crime had fallen probably to historic levels in the last year but of course what people want to know is not just what is happening nationally but what is happening in their neighbourhood. And that’s why I have been looking here today in the West Midlands at crime maps which can actually enable you to know what is happening to crime in your own neighbourhood and also even more importantly how you can work alongside the police to bring it down even further because the public are our best weapon in helping to fight crime and anti-social behaviour. And the thing that they are doing here in the West Midlands today I, along with the Association of Chief Police Officers, think we can actually see everywhere in the country by the end of this year.”

The MyNeighbourhood website has been live since September 2007, and an updated version of the site is due to be launched in September this year.
