The crime map shows information and locations for the following types of property crimes:

- Shoplifting
- Theft
- Theft from Motor Vehicle
- Theft of Motor Vehicle
- Other
Incident information includes:

The crime map defaults to displaying crime incidents that have occurred within the last fourteen days. Incidents are easily searchable by File Number, Date, Crime Type, and Area by clicking on Show Filters, just above the map.
