Law enforcement agencies in San Diego County, including the San Diego Police Department, have developed an Interactive Mapping Application for citizens to use to see crime activity in their neighborhoods. Citizens can specify a geographical area, select a date range and select types of activity they'd like to see. Available activity includes crimes, arrests, citations, and traffic incidents. The result of an inquiry is a map of the specified activity. Citizens can click on any incident on the map to get the details of that particular incident.
