Edmonton Police Crime Mapping Site · Super awesome new site from the Edmonton Police Service. You can check your neighbourhood for recent crimes. It uses the Google Maps interface, a real bonus. I hope that this tool goes a ways to inspire people to do their best to avoid crime, i.e. lock your vehicle, keep valuables out of sight, be careful at night, be observant. My wishlist: RSS feed per neighbourhood, and text notifications of recent crimes (unlikely as that may be…something like that might have to come from citizens). Mack Male has a good writeup of the tool.
