Free Web site maps crime reports, calls

"The free site relies mainly on police departments paying $100 or $200 a month, depending on their size, to have CrimeReports.com extract the information from their internal systems and publish it online. Public Engines LLC, Whisenant's seven-person company in Salt Lake City, Utah, pledges to post no ads on the site."

This is an interesting service which also shows how privatization will take the technical aspects of being an analyst out of the equation someday - analysts need to analyze rather than be chart-makers and map-make-makers.
