Crime map, Radar Speed Signs, first steps in community safety initiative
Chillicothe News
The Chillicothe Police Department (CPD) began a community safety initiative in 2020 after Chillicothe voters passed the law enforcement tax, Chillicothe Police Chief Jon Maples said the department is now finalizing the initiative with the first focus being on the community and its safety. As of April 9, we have the LexisNexis® Community Crime Map and four Radar Speed Display Trailers, Maples said in a press release.
The LexisNexis® Community Crime Map connects law enforcement with the community to reduce crime and improve public safety. Crime mapping helps the public get a better idea of the crime activity in their area so they can make more informed decisions about how to stay safe. This also assists law enforcement with analyzing and problem-solving crime in problematic areas, along with analyzing staffing issues and time frames.
