We recently partnered with LexisNexis Risk Solutions to provide a new way for the public to stay informed about crime in the city limits of Bolivar.
We can now visit our Crime Community Map, which tracks and analyzes crime data, alerts Bolivar citizens about crimes in their area, and allows us to quickly alert the public about crimes as they occur. Funding for this partnership came through the award of a Local Violent Crime Prevention grant through the state of Missouri.
Through this program, you can
- View a map and grid with all the crimes in Bolivar,
- Sign up for neighborhood watch reports that automatically email a breakdown of recent crime activity,
- Submit an anonymous tip about a crime directly to the Bolivar Police Department.
The Community Crime Map automatically syncs with our records system to keep crime information updated online and in the mobile app. The program cleans and geocodes the crime data, then displays the records on a map, grid, and charts dashboard along with some basic information about the incidents, including the type of crime, location type, block-level address, date and time.
