New Elk River Crime Map iPhone Application

I saw this article and thought it was very cool Elk River Police have come up with this iPhone App. But at the same point, is there really that much crime in Elk River to actually warrant this?

The Elk River Police Department has partnered with CrimeReports to Launch a new iPhone crime map.

The application is available at the iTune App Store and is free.

Elk River Police Chief Jeff Beahen said the department is happy to offer the most advanced tools available to foster communication and engagement with community members to prevent crime.
The Crime Reports iPhone app allows anyone to filter data by location or address, incident type and date range.

Recent neighborhood level crimes can be viewed in a map or list, and national sex offender data can be viewed alongside crimes in certain neighborhoods.

Find out more about the new application by visiting www.CrimeReports.com/iphone.
The police department also already publishes their crime data on the National Crime Map at www.crimereports.com.
