DOVER, Del. (AP) - A Delaware police department is providing citizens a new tool to see what crimes are occurring in their neighborhoods.
The Dover Police Department has recently revamped a crime map on its website that displays crime data across the city in an easy-to-use format.
The Delaware State News reports that the department partnered with a company called crimemapping.com to produce the map.
Users can adjust the map to display crimes over the last day, week or month. Dollar-sign icons indicate larcenies, clenched fists indicate assaults and a martini glass indicates a report of public drunkenness.
The site incorporates reports from the Dover Police Department and Delaware State Police.
Police say the map makes it easier for the community to stay informed about crime trends and stay on alert.
