New crime map

This morning the Baltimore Sun offers you a new crime map for Baltimore County. You can even get e-mail notifications of crime in your area, as well as keep track of trends from everything from car stops to burglaries.

We have been trying to get similar maps for Baltimore and the surrounding suburbs with different degrees of success. We have a similar map of Anne Arundel County crime and a map of homicides in Baltimore.

We've improved the Anne Arundel map by now allowing you to search for more than a week at a time. The same is true with the map from Baltimore County.

I suspect many of your readers could correctly compose a 'crime map' days before the crimes even occur!

About Peter Hermann

Peter Hermann started covering news for The Baltimore Sun in 1990, first in Anne Arundel County and, starting in 1994, reporting on the Baltimore Police Department. In 2001, he was assigned to Jerusalem as the Baltimore Sun's Middle East correspondent. He returned in 2005 as an assistant city editor overseeing crime coverage.
