According to www.atlantapd.org: The "Atlanta Police Online Crime Maps are created using weekly updates from the same crime data that is used by Atlanta Police Commanders in weekly C.O.B.R.A meetings." The data represented by this mapping program, although not official statistics, helps commanders get a better understanding of crime trends so that they may more efficiently deploy officers to combat crime

Now that you have the ability to view crimes occurring in your neighborhood, you can use this knowledge to best secure your home and family. There has always been crime happening around us, but now we can be more aware than ever before.
