Crime In Your Neighborhood?

Have there been times that you have wanted to know or needed to know what criminal activity was taking place in your neighborhood? Well, thanks to technology that information will be readily available to you.

Pleasant Grove Police Department announces the following website that is being made available to the citizens of Pleasant Grove. The website is www.crimereports.com.

This program has been endorsed by the Utah Attorney General, Mark L. Shurtleff, and has been implemented to provide timely information to citizens within the communities of Utah. It facilitates a communication and crime watch partnership between law enforcement agencies and the citizens they serve with the purpose of helping law enforcement communicate directly with the public using high impact maps and current crime information.

As your local law enforcement agency in Pleasant Grove, we feel that access to the www.crimereports.com website can be a valuable tool in identifying where crime is occurring in our community and will prove particularly valuable to those in the community who want to stay informed about what is going on in their neighborhoods, with again, the hope that they will work with us to address these issues.

This program is currently available via the internet by typing in www.crimereports.com. The Home Page is user friendly and will allow various types of searches to include types of crimes, location of crime in relationship to a specific address, and a time frame for your search.

Pleasant Grove is a marvelous place to live, whether you are a youngster growing up , a teenager learning what it takes to find your place in society, a parent busily engaged in rearing a family, or a senior citizen enjoying the ‘golden years’. There really is ‘no place like home’. However, there are steps that can and should be taken to preserve the lifestyle we enjoy and one of those steps is to know what is going on around you. It is our hope that this newly introduced tool will assist you in being aware and involved in ensuring that together we can keep our community the type of place we want to call home.
