Why is St Petersburg Crimes Calls better than getting the crime reports from the Newspaper?
The Police release their Calls for Service data on a Monday. The St Petersburg Times prints that data in the Neighborhood Times on the following Sunday. St Pete Crimes dot com publishes the data on the same day that the Police release it. We also show more information, such as the name of the officer responding and the exact address of the event, not just the block. The site is also much easier to specify and search on certain criteria. We have police crime data going back to 2007 that we hope to have on the site as soon as possible.
