Hey, Check Out University Park’s Crime Map

For those who just can’t wait to get our paper every week and read the police blotter, now you can do it in real time. Head to the University Park Police Department website, where they map the crimes, day by day.

Is this new? I don’t know, but it’s new to me. The map also allows you to plot the registered sex offenders in your neighborhood, so have at it.

    Thanks for the link!

    But feel free to post the most (or least) exciting bits with a little snarky humor. One of the nice things about living in such a relatively low crime area is the ability to poke fun at some of the things that make the blotter.

    I know that putting soap in a fountain can actually damage it, but picturing 10 SMU police huddled around gathering evidence and water samples makes me chuckle.

    It’s 2012. How about let’s go ahead and put the term (and ethos of) “snarky” to death. Not euthanasia, mind you. An agonizingly painful death. Also: If you’re over 20 and you still think vandalism is funny, you might ask your doctor to check and see if you’re a jackass.

    Wow, that was uncalled for.

    Do you feel better now?

    @khakijack
    don’t worry I think the word snarky should live on!! (and soap in the fountain is slightly funny. especially since that fountain is ugly)
