Albany Police Dept Interactive Mapping
The Albany Police Dept is pleased to announce the introduction of Interactive Crime Mapping. Crime Mapping is used by analysts and unit commanders to map, visualize, and analyze crime incident patterns. It is a key component of the crime analysis policing strategy, and allows the Albany Police Dept to identify crime hot spots, along with other trends and patterns. We can then formulate strategies and forecast trends, allowing us to re-allocate police resources to needed areas and better dispatch calls for service.
User Agreement The Geographical Information System has been designed to be an easy and efficient way for citizens to research calls for police service and reported incidents occurring in the City of Albany. </
