OLATHE, Kan. - Johnson County residents now have a new online tool to show them when and how many crimes are happening in their neighborhood.
The Sheriff's Office has launched a new online crime mapping tool. The easy to use, intuitive tool is the first of its kind for the Sheriff’s Office. This project, which took five months to develop, will provide information ranging from overall activity, to specific crimes or specific address in an easy to use Web application.
"I want to make the public as aware as possible to what is happening in their neighborhood and their community," Sheriff Frank Denning said. "Tools like this are an important part of public safety and we will continue to develop technology to assist residents in keeping their family and friends safe and informed."
The information contained in the databases are for all areas of the county that deputies work including both the rural and urban portions of Johnson County.
