User Reviews :
- Spot Crime is a good resource to let you know what is going on where you live. Their updates can be a week behind when an incident happened.
- The radius of reporting area is something that you need to really pay attention to. Just because an incident shows up, or even multiple reports, does not mean that it can be a bad area.
- A incident reported by police through the statistics they use. Come from how they write up an incident report.
- I was perplexed by the no crime in certain parts of areas I know are hard hit while using other apps. This one seems to have the most comprehensive information. It’s not as interactive as the others, you can’t sort by crime types or even go back certain time frames by opting for certain dates – but it does seem to have the best and most current information. I love it!!
