You will be provided with two types of crime maps for each community policing team area:

1. A monthly report of serious crimes in your community policing areas, posted the first of each month with the prior month's crime data.

2. A more timely crime map as a pattern or trend begins to form. These maps will be posted on the Web site as deemed necessary.

What type of crimes will be shown on your crime maps?

Serious Part One crimes:

• Home Invasions: Breaking and entering of "occupied" residential properties. Residents do not have to be home at the time the crime is committed; occupied refers to the structure being not vacant.
  
  
• Breaking & Entering: Breaking and entering of commercial properties, unoccupied residences, homes under construction, and other structures.
  
  
• Larceny: The unlawful taking of another's property. Larceny from auto (items inside your car), larceny from building (sheds, detached garage, storage lockers), larceny from person (pick pocket, purse snatching).
  
  
• MDOP: Malicious destruction of property. Real or personal property (automobiles, homes, lawns, mailboxes, etc.)
  
  
• Stolen vehicles: Actual theft of an automobile.
  
  
• Robbery: Unlawful taking of another’s property with force and/or use of a weapon.
  
  
• RAPE: Self explanatory. You will only see this if the perpetrator is unknown to the victim and we have reason to believe this perpetrator is a threat to the general public.

What you will not see on your community watch map:

1. Names and/or other sources used to identify victims.

2. Addresses of said crimes / unless deemed necessary.

3. Specific suspect information / unless deemed necessary.

4. Crimes where there are known perpetrators and no immediate threat to the general public.
