Its Time We Track All Crimes In Edmonton - Including Graffiti and Vandalism

I am often asked how I would reduce crime in certain neighbourhoods. In particular crimes like graffiti and vandalism that seem to be ignored in the grand scheme of Edmonton crime busting.

I have a first step.

First, if you have never been here http://crimemapping.edmontonpolice.ca/ you should have a look. It is a powerful site.

When you go there, a sample page looks like this.

In this neighbourhood there have been three theft from vehicles, two break and enter and one assault. 

I want Graffiti and Vandalism added so that it can be tracked

(These are fake examples).

I want these added so that people are more likely to report them, the police are more likely to investigate them and we are more likely to find who is committing these crimes. 

It is a simple idea for a simple post, but information fights crime. Lets start tracking the more common but often ignored crimes that cost taxpayers, citizens and businesses a fortune.
