Abbotsford RCMP adopted the system the following day, and other jurisdictions are also showing interest.
In the capital region, 800 people have already signed up for the system s "crime alert" feature, and 28 are registered for multiple alerts, Victoria police spokesman Sgt. Grant Hamilton said.
"Alerts are where you can flag a particular area and be notified of any crime that gets posted in that area," he said.
The CrimeReports system, which will cost the department about $150 per month, plots crime data with Google-based technology, allowing the public to see what is going on in their neighbourhoods and giving officers a view of crime trends.
