LAPD Switches to Google Maps & Other New Features

LAPD Crime Maps uses Google Maps
All the reported crime on August 7, 2008 within a 5-mile radius from 200 N. Fremont Street

LAPD's interactive crime maps have been helpful since they launched a couple years ago. Today, they relaunched the tool, now using Google Maps instead of the old city map they were using. The new maps also let you double click on an area to browse crime in neighborhoods and also toggle between the graphic, satellite and hybrid maps (however, the search your address function seems to not be working at the moment).

Also, they launched a new feature on the website called LAPDTV, which hosts video messages from Chief Bratton, "Inside the LAPD,' a channel 35 show and other videos to help solve crimes (like surveillance videos).

So where's the link to the map? I'm curious to know just how many times the pot clinic I live next to has had break-in attempts in the last three months. I lost count after six.

Can only go back 7 days? Laaaaaame.

No, you can only do 7 days at a time for a range. You can go pretty damn far back, just click on the calendar icon for the starting date.
