FPD Crime Map via CityProtect.com

This is a tool the PD has had for some time, but it does require a few minutes to get the Fremont info set up.  I don't think this should be a substitute for the Patrol Blotter that used to arrived daily in your email box.  From FPD Nixle:


Explore the community crime map with CityProtect.com

We understand it is always important to be informed and know when, where, and what types of reports we respond to in and around your neighborhood. We’d like to make all of our community members aware of CityProtect.com, previously known as CrimeReports.com. CityProtect.com offers a mobile-friendly website which allows users to explore a crime map of their community with up to 180 days of data. The Fremont Police Department participates in the public crime map feature which promotes transparency and advocates for crime prevention awareness. This tool provides automated mapping of incidents with frequent data updates.

City Protect is the only public portal the Fremont Police Department shares report information with. Police reports are generally updated within 72 hours, or less, but can sometimes take more time if the investigation is ongoing. Please understand that this is a representation of crime and is not all-inclusive. It is important to note that some police report types change as the circumstances of an investigation become known and the time listed, is the time of the report and not necessarily the time of the actual incident. This service does not reflect official crime index totals as reported to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting program however, that information is available on our website fremontpolice.gov/transparency. The number of crimes in tables and reports may not be fully reflected in the map due to address data not geocoding. Our goal in offering a community crime map option is to inspire a partnership and empower community members to help shape public safety and improve quality of life.

The Fremont Police Department is always looking for new ways to enhance our community engagement efforts. We feel it is important to give our community various ways to connect with us. We offer crime alerts in various forms which include but do not limit to; NIXLE, Facebook, Twitter, Nextdoor, Neighbors by Ring app, and Instagram. We have received positive feedback with these realms of communication and feel compelled to re-share information on how residents and businesses can stay up to date with crime by utilizing Cityprotect.com.
