Online Crime Mapping

The City of Auburn offers an online crime map for its residents. Auburn partnered with Bair Software to provide the service and make it easier for their residents to keep track of crime in their area. BAIR offers the service at absolutely no cost to the department or the public as a way to give back to the community.

RAIDS Online syncs with the Auburn’s crime records system to automatically upload crime information and keep it updated on the map. Auburn residents can view crimes near their home, school, work or other area of interest. Citizens who use RAIDS Online to become aware of crime trends can make more informed decisions regarding where they live, shop, play, send their kids to school and other important choices regarding their personal safety.

In addition to a map of crime, RAIDS Online allows citizens to sign up for daily or weekly email reports of recent crime activity. This allows the public to stay informed about crime simply by logging into their email system. The reports list each crime within a certain distance from the user’s address for the past day or week. A sign-up form on the RAIDS Online website makes it easy for residents to sign up for reports.

Auburn is also providing an anonymous tips service through the website. Citizens who click on crime dot on the map can send a tip directly to the department about that incident. These tips improve two-way communication between the department and the public and they can strengthen a department’s investigation about a crime by ensuring they have the most information available about an incident.

Realizing that crime isn’t constrained by city borders, Auburn and Lewiston have started sharing crime data in the same system, which allows residents on the border of the two cities to stay informed about crime even though it may cross jurisdictional lines. The system also helps officers and analysts in both departments stay up-to-date about crime in their area of interest.
