I just added the RAIDS Online link, which is a community awareness service that the St. Petersburg Police Department is now using to "enhance the department's partnership with the local community". Below is the detailed description of how RAIDS Online and the St. Petersburg Police Department can benefit the city's communities by informing citizens of crimes in their areas and assisting in reducing crime.
The St. Petersburg Police Department has partnered with BAIR Analytics
and Citizen Observer to enhance the Department's partnership with the
local community. BAIR Analytics' RAIDS Online public crime map will
display calls for service activity and provide a web link to Citizen
Observer's tip411 online anonymous tip platform. Seamlessly
integrated, both platforms will enhance the user online experience by
providing more timely information as it relates to calls for service,
while simultaneously, displaying an integrated link to the anonymous
tip platform. Ultimately, the Department is confident this exchange of
information will promote transparency, reciprocity and contribute
favorably to crime reduction.- St. Petersburg Police Department
The previous crime alert website, Crime Report, is no longer in use by the St. Petersburg Police Department. However, other Pinellas County's cities still use it.
