The Peterborough Police Service is launching a new interactive tool to share more information on community safety and security.
The Community Safety Map is now available through www.peterboroughpolice.com. It is designed to improve community awareness of police activity and engage citizens in crime prevention strategies so that we can work in partnership to build safer communities.
“The Community Safety Map is a way the Peterborough Police Service can further engage with our communities. It is about information sharing and providing certain data that is relevant to understanding the picture of safety that exists in our communities. In our current Strategic Plan we have committed to developing new proactive policing initiatives and messaging around public safety and crime prevention – this is one of those initiatives. We hope residents and visitors will find the information useful.” – Stuart Betts, Chief, Peterborough Police Service.
The Community Safety Map shows the following types of calls for service:
- Assault
- Break & Enter - Business/Residence
- Drug Offences
- Fraud
- Impaired/Over 80
- Mischief
- Robbery
- Shoplifting
- Stolen Vehicle
- Theft
- Weapons
Incidents are not plotted to exact addresses but rather larger intersections. However, the Peterborough Police Service cautions against using this call-for-service data to draw conclusions regarding the safety or crime levels for an area. The data is a snapshot in time and data is subject to change. The map includes 365 days of data from the day a person is viewing it.
Should anyone have information about an incident they can also connect to the online reporting portal and Crime Stoppers through links on the map.
On the website you will find information on how to use the Community Safety Map, information about privacy, and information about the types of crimes that are on the map.
