Although Winter Park is known for its safe and peaceful neighborhoods, no city is crime-free, unfortunately. In an effort to help residents and visitors of Winter Park better protect themselves, the Winter Park Police Department has recently added a fantastic new resource to its website called Crime Mapping.

 

With Crime Mapping, users can view all criminal activity that has taken place during a specific time period or with a particular street location's area. Crimes can be filtered by degree of offense and detailed information can be view on every crime. The map shows all property crimes, person crimes, miscellaneous crimes and arrests - everything from homicides, robberies, battery, assault and sexual offenses to noise complaints and vandalism. Needless to say, this is a very useful tool for anyone living or planning to live in Winter Park.

 

Though Crime Mapping is a great way to keep the public informed of what is going on in their community, vigilance and common sense are still the best defenses. Always try to remain alert and aware of your surroundings, stay in well-lit public areas after dark and keep your car and your home locked at all times. Stay safe out there!
