Mayoral Press Conference Introduces CLEAR Map Web Site

Announced by the Mayor and Superintendent at a press conference on February 23rd, CLEAR Map, is now available at www.ChicagoPolice.org. The Chicago Police Department developed this web application to provide residents of the City of Chicago with a tool to assist them in problem-solving and combating crime and disorder in their neighborhoods. It is based upon the CLEAR (Citizen Law Enforcement Analysis and Reporting) system developed by the Department for use by its police officers.

CLEAR Map provides all of the capabilities of Citizen ICAM plus many more, including integration of Crime Stoppers alerts, and the ability to search by more geographies: Address, Beat, School, Park, Ward, and Community Area. PODs are now shown on these public maps as well.

This web application enables you to search the Chicago Police Department's database of reported crime. You will be able to see maps, graphs, and tables of reported crime. The database contains 90 days of information which you can access in blocks of up to 14 days. Data is refreshed daily. However, the most recent information is back-dated 7 days from the current date.

I tried it. It is a very useful tool. I checked out my beat and was even able to see an arial satelite view of my house. Very impressive. I like it better than I-Cam.
